Grilled Chicken Wings



i prefer grilling over frying. cos it's probably healthier, easier to manage and clean up (always hate to have to think about how to recycle the leftover oil from frying). all you need to do is marinate, line the grilling tray with aluminium foil, turn up the heat and chuck the whole darn thing in.

Am putting this up cos my sis's asking for the recipe. there're probably 1 gazillion methods to go about doing grilled wings so it's not something terribly exceptional but i wld say it tastes better than those u can get at a certain 'grilled chicken franchise'. always something useful & fast to have around when it's your turn to churn up some finger food for some birthday potluck thingy.

ingredients
  • 10 wings
  • sesame seed oil
  • chinese cooking wine (i used shaoxing wine...actually any alcohol shld do. i'd done it with beer and stout before)
  • ground pepper
  • fish sauce
  • dark soy sauce
  • sugar
  • szechuan powder (i used this. got it in a bottle from Woolworths)/ mild curry / chilli powder

recipe
  • marinate wings with all of the above ingredients
  • set aside for no less than 30 min
  • preheat grill at 120'C
  • line wings on tray and grill for about 8 minutes on 1 side
  • flip over when side is nicely crackling and slightly burnt. grill for another 8 minutes
  • remove from tray when cooked, serve with condiments

hi.. just wondering are these 10 drumlets only or 10 full wings (drumlet, middle section and wing tip)? thanks. Your recipes are simple and I'm going to try them.
