Asian Style Chicken Wings on the grill

These chicken wings have a distinct Asian taste. They are rather sticky so make sure you have plenty of napkins at hand. Serve as part of a buffet or for dinner with a green salad on the side or perhaps a noodle dish.

Ingredients;

3 lb chicken drummettes

3/4 cup hoisin sauce

2 tbs Asian sesame oil

2 tbs rice vinegar

2 tbs soy sauce

2 tbs grated fresh ginger

1 1/2 tsp hot sauce

2 cloves garlic finely chopped

1/2 tsp ground cloves 

1 tbs toasted sesame seeds (toast in a dry frying pan over medium heat until they start to color making sure they don't get burned).

In a small bowl whisk all the ingredients except for the chicken drummettes and the sesame seeds. Pour 3/4 of the sauce into a ziploc bag and add the chicken. Toss the bag so that all the chicken drummettes are coated with the sauce. This can be done ahead but if you are not using the chicken right away put it in the refrigerator until ready to be used. 

Cook on the grill over medium-medium/high in a grill pan (I use the disposable ones because they tend to get rather messy) together with all the sauce for 20-25 minutes turning every five minutes or so to prevent burning. 

Transfer to a bowl, add the remaining sauce and sprinkle on the sesame seeds. 

Enjoy!
