Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon hot chili-garlic sauce, such as sriracha
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
16 chicken wings, wing tips removed
vegetable oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk the sauces, sesame oil and ginger together.
  • Trim excess skin from the edges of the wings.
  • Lightly brush or spray with the oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grill the chicken wings over Direct Medium heat until the skin begins to crisp, about 10 minutes, turning once or twice.
  • Brush the wings with the glaze and continue to grill until the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 8 to 10 minutes, turning and brushing with the glaze 2 or 3 times.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chilis: For a milder sauce, use red jalapeños or serranos. For a spicier sauce, use habaneros or cayenne peppers.
  • Roast the chilis: Roasting the chilis brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel and blend.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs: The seeds and ribs are the spiciest parts of the chilis, so removing them will help to control the heat level of the sauce.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs and spices will give your sauce the best flavor.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste.

Conclusion:

This Thai hot chili sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor and heat to a variety of dishes.
