3 pounds of chicken wings
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon wine or rice vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into three sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.

  • While the wings cook, combine 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon wine or rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion and 1 teaspoon minced garlic in a large bowl.
  • When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill, and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides.

TANGY BARBECUE WINGS



TANGY BARBECUE WINGS image

Categories     Chicken

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

25 whole chicken wings (about 5 pounds)
2-1/2 cups hot and spicy ketchup
2/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup molasses
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke, optional

Steps:

  • Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip sections. Place chicken wings in two greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30 minutes; drain. Turn wings; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until juices run clear. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the ketchup, vinegar, honey, molasses, salt, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder and chili powder. Add liquid smoke if desired. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes. Drain wings; place a third of them in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Top with about 1 cup sauce. Repeat layers twice. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Stir before serving. Yield: about 4 dozen.

Tips:

  • Choose the right wings: Fresh, plump wings with smooth skin are the best choice for barbecuing. Avoid wings that are frozen or have any signs of damage.
  • Clean the wings properly: Remove any feathers or pinfeathers from the wings and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Marinate the wings: Marinating the wings in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, paprika, and chili powder, or you can get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
  • Cook the wings over medium heat: Cooking the wings over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. Cook the wings for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and the juices run clear.
  • Sauce the wings: Once the wings are cooked, you can sauce them with your favorite barbecue sauce. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own homemade sauce. Brush the sauce on the wings and cook them for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through.

Conclusion:

Barbecued wings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply a casual meal at home. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make delicious barbecued wings that will impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a tasty and easy-to-make appetizer or main course, give barbecued wings a try.
