Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 whole chicken wings
- 1 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Peanut or Vegetable Oil
- 3 lemons cut into wedges
Instructions
- Fill a large pot or Dutch oven halfway with water, bringing to a rapid boil. Salt generously and then add half of the 16 whole chicken wings (or whatever fits, being careful not to crowd the pot or overflow).
- Wings are done when they begin to float. Remove floating wings to a paper towel lined baking sheet and allow to cool and drain. Continue until all wings are cooked.
- Use 4 larger freezer bags, double bagged to make two (chicken pieces poke through). Divide wings evenly, 8 and 8, into doubled bagged freezer bags.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar, 1/2 cup honey, 1 cup low sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoons minced garlic and 2 tablespoons Peanut or Vegetable Oil Divide evenly between the two bags.
- Massage the marinade into the chicken and place into the refrigerator for 2 hours-24 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the bag and marinade, discarding the marinade. Heat the grill to medium high heat (about 350°F). Grill on each side for 5-6 minutes or until the chicken starts to look sticky and glazed. Remember it is already cooked, so you are just reheating and charring for flavor and presentation.
- Serve with the 3 lemons. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice on chicken before eating. You can half the lemons are grill them for added visual appeal. Warmed lemons will actually produce more juice!
