Spicy Whiskey Glazed Chicken Wings
This recipe takes a typical game-day favorite and adds an Asian-inspired twist through the use of Eastern ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1/4 cup whiskey
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 2 tsp ginger root grated
- 1 jalapeno
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- pinch of salt and pepper
- lime wedges, slices of chili pepper, fresh cilantro as desired for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill on high. (Reduce to medium-low for cooking.)
- Combine all the ingredients except for the chicken in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. As soon as it begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the burner and set aside.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and grill them over medium-low heat for about 20-25 minutes until cooked through and the skin is crispy. Turn them every 5 minutes and move them around the grill to ensure even cooking.
- Toss the wings and half the sauce in a bowl until nicely coated. Remove them to a platter. Garnish with lime wedges, sliced chili or cilantro. Serve the remaining sauce on the side.
