It has been hot here in the Chicagoland area, really all week I haven't wanted to cook anything inside. Grilling out has been the only option for hot food lately. As a food blogger I find myself afraid of getting into a rut, "I can't do pork Tenderloin again I just did that in June!" It happens often, like someone is out there with a list of my recipes to ready call me on any repeats. I just found myself saying almost that the other day... I have done chicken wings before (I am sure you will see it on my Link Within widget) and wasn't sure if I should do this again. In the end I decided to run with it if I never repeat meats I will by talking about how to cook platypus or Kimodo dragon inside of a few short weeks so grilled chicken wings a year ago shouldn't be too bad right?!?
I enjoy the flavor/texture of chicken wings cooked on the grill so much more than their baked or fried counterparts. I wanted a little bit of a different sauce on these guys this time so started poking around the cupboard to see what I had. My cupboards can be a little bit of an adventure sometimes, lots of little bottles and jars all of them seem to be singing "pick me, pick me" this one ended up being pretty simple the sauce was:
1/2 cup Sriracha maybe little more I didn't measure
2-3 TBS Honey
1 TBS Soy Sauce
1 TBS Sesame Oil
1 Clove of Garlic minced
Just a little splash of rice wine vinegar
These sound delicious! My hubby and stepson would flip over them! As for sides, why mess with a classic? :)
ReplyDeleteI have never done wings before but really like the idea of grilled instead of frying. And that sauce sounds good for many other applications as well. As for the blue cheese dip - what's not to love!
ReplyDeleteSo I became a vegetarian a few years ago, but seeing your post and hearing about this sauce is making me crave a plate full of wings. I'm glad I found your blog Bryan, and I look forward to more great posts!
ReplyDeleteSuper marinade, Bryan. I love that honey and soy combo. These look sticky and dark and lovely. Wish I was having dinner at your house!
ReplyDeleteYum! If traffic were with me, I could be at your place by the time the charcoal is ready!! I think this combo would be good on chicken thighs as well??
ReplyDeleteLove the cooler weather!
Best,
Bonnie
I saw this picture briefly the other day and knew I had to get back and see what you were up to!
ReplyDeleteYumo, I totally love chicken wings and I make mine very similar to these. As for cooking up the old platypus...I thought we were friends?! ;)
