Root Beer Chicken Wings
This sounds really tasty for an outdoor BBQ with friends and family. On my to cook list. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
For the Wings
- 50 chicken wings, I have no idea what the weight would be, see Step 1
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- juice from 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Sauce
- 1 cup Root Beer
- 1 cup ketchup, OR make from a shortcut on this site
- 3 tablespoons Worcherstershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- juice from 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Prices for whole wings: 91 Baht/kilo, middle sections: 126 Baht/kilo, drumettes: 70 Baht/kilo. Buy the whole wings, you get two pieces for you and a piece for dog food. There is a Tip that describes how to cut the sections apart without using a cleaver so you get no bone chips in the meat.
- Preheat your grill for a two zone cooking, having hot coals on one side and nothing on the other side.
- Mix the Wing ingredients and let marinate for 30 minutes.
- Place the wings on the hot grate directly over hot coals and sear for about 3 minutes per side, then move to indirect and cook for 20 to 25 minutes at a high temp, you are looking for a crispy skin and a golden brown color.
- In a cast iron skillet placed on the grill over direct heat, mix all of the sauce ingredients together and simmer for 10 minutes, then drop the wings inside the skillet and give a good mix to coat each one with sauce.
- Sear wings one last time over hot coals to caramelize the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve. Corn on the cob would make this a great meal!
Notes
I cannot price this until I buy the 50 wings. I will list this as fair cost for now and will revise when I make this.
