CHINESE BARBECUED CHICKEN WINGS

Based on a recipe from Ken Hom's Quick & Easy Chinese Cooking. Ken says that you may substitute chicken breasts, making sure to cook for less time. As an appetizer, this recipe is engineered for a large group, but for a larger crowd, simply double or triple the ingredients. Serve hot or at room temperature, which makes them suitable for picnics. The wings and sauce can be prepared in the morning of serving day, refrigerated, and simply taken out of the refrigerator in time to get them to room temperature before cooking. The barbecue sauce can be doubled in order to use half of it later for grilled lamb or pork chops.

  • Marinate the chicken wings for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Use a variety of spices in your marinade: The more spices you use, the more flavorful the chicken wings will be. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the chicken wings over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken wings from drying out.
  • Cook the chicken wings until they are cooked through: The chicken wings should be cooked until they are no longer pink in the center. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken wing. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Some good options include barbecue sauce, honey mustard sauce, or ranch dressing.
