Ingredients

spicy honey glaze
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons sambal chile sauce
  • 2 garlic minced cloves
chicken wings
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 12 chicken wing drumette pat dry
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
garnishes
  • 1/4 cup peanuts crushed, dry roasted
  • 2 green onion thinly sliced

Instructions

glaze
    Cup of Yum
  1. Place honey, Sambal and 2 cloves minced garlic into a small mixing bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
chicken wings
  1. Place baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, into another mixing bowl and whisk together.
  2. Sprinkle baking powder mixture over wings and toss together until each piece of chicken is fully covered in a very thin, even layer of the dry mixture.
  3. Place the coated wings onto a baking sheet, lined with a cooling rack, about 1 inch apart and refrigerate for 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
  4. Preheat grill to 350˚F (or medium heat). Brush grill grates with oil and place wings onto the surface, skin side down (over indirect heat) about 1 to 2 inches apart.
  5. Close grill lid and grill wings for about 20 minutes. Uncover and flip each wing and recover grill. Continue to grill for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until wings have browned and the skin has crisped up.
  6. Uncover grill and brush grilled chicken wings with glaze. Flip the wings and brush the other side. Continue to flip and glaze each side every minute for the next 3 to 4 minutes, lowering the heat as needed to avoid the honey glaze from burning.
  7. Remove wing from grill and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle more glaze over the top of the wings, and top with crushed peanuts and sliced green onions. Serve.

Notes

  • **Each serving = 3 chicken wing drumettes**
  • We use only the drumettes in our recipe, but you can use a mixture of drumettes and flats without changing the cooking temperature and times. 
  • We like using white pepper for the less spicy, pungent heat, but you can definitely use black pepper if you prefer or that's what you have on hand.
