Asian Wings

Sweet and sticky, these Asian wings make great finger fair for a gathering. Or serve them up for a quick family meal any day of the week. You can add an extra layer of flavor by smoking the wings for 1 ½ hours before tossing them in the sauce mixture and baking in the Memphis, but this isn’t necessary if you are in a hurry. Either way these Asian wings taste mighty fine!

Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken wings
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed through a garlic press
  • 2 T soya sauce
  • 3 T hoisin sauce
  • 1 T honey
  • ½ tsp ginger powder
  • 1 tsp dark sesame oil
  • 1 T lightly toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

  1. Rinse the wings using cold water and pat them dry using a paper towel.
  2. You can now smoke these wings in the Memphis Pellet Grill if you have the time before proceeding. Simply place them on the lower rack of the grill, close the lid and set the temperature to 225 degrees F. Smoke for 1 ½ hours then remove from Memphis and turn the grill up to 375 degrees F.
  3. Place the wings in a bowl large enough to hold them all.
  4. In a measuring cup, mix together the crushed garlic, soya sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, ginger powder and dark sesame oil.
  5. Pour over the chicken wings and toss to make sure that each wing is evenly coated with this mixture.
  6. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with foil and place the coated wings on the pan. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Place the pan on the lower rack of the pre-heated Memphis and close the lid.
  7. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the wings reaches 165 degrees F.
