I am completely powerless against the temptress (make that temptor) that is a chicken wing. Especially one with perfect combination of sweet, sticky, spicy, and saucey! Even better is that this one could almost be considered healthy since chicken is grilled and not fried. Healthy, as long as you ignore the stick of butter used for the sauce (not really, it was just 1/2 stick).
I grilled the chicken wings, which were seasoned with just salt and pepper and a little oil to prevent sticking, over indirect heat for about 20 minutes until they were crispy and cooked through.
While the chicken pieces were grilling I made the sauce by heating 1/2 bottle of Louisiana hot sauce, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, about 1 tablespoon of bottled BBQ sauce and 2 tablespoons of honey. I let the sauce simmer until it reduced just a little and thickened a bit. When the chicken pieces were off the grill and ready for the sauce, I added 1/2 stick of butter to the hot sauce mixture off the heat (very important that it is off the heat, otherwise, the sauce could break and become a greasy mess) and wisked well to combine. Then, I poured the sauce over the hot chicken wings and tossed all together. Make sure you have plenty of paper towels. Yum!
How is your cholesterol, Miss Ricks?
ReplyDeleteYou know the saying "don't trust a skinny chef", same concept applies to cholesterol. Though, I really don't know what it is. Just like the fact that I don't step on a scale in about 20 years, I have not had my cholesterol taken either. Ignorance is bliss!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I agree.
ReplyDeleteYou're not kidding...I wish I could reach in and nab a few! They look totally finger-lickin'! Gonna have to hit BW3 soon (cuz I'm way too lazy to make some right now)! :D
