Where do I start with these oh so yummy Simple Grilled Asian Wings? My husband and I worked on this recipe a few months ago during football season and I am kicking myself that I didn’t get this up sooner. Wings and football go hand in hand, as I learned from my husband a few years ago. He had been on the road working but was in Southern California. I met up with him at the hotel bar and we had a wings and a football date. I really had never been much into wings prior to that point, but once I had them I was hooked. As good as those wings were that day, I love that my favorite family farm, Primal Pastures , sells these wonderfully organic and pasture raised wings. They are big, meaty and perfect for the grill. The marinade for these beauties literally only takes minutes to make. Marinade them over night, grill on the low the next day and you will have Simple Grilled Asian Wings that are much healthier than anything you can buy in a restaurant.
Tips for Simple Grilled Asian Wings
- Marinade takes 10 mins to make. Use 1/2- 1 tsp powdered ginger and it becomes even faster.
- Marinate the chicken for a full 24 hours and my oh my, does the flavor intensify.
- Wanna kick up the heat a bit? Double up the Sriracha and chili pepper flakes in the marinade. If you really want to walk on the wild side, add a cut up a habanero.
- Make sure to preheat the grill for about 5 mins. Grill low and slow for 8-10 mins per side for large wings and 6-8 mins for smaller wings.
- Not thrilled with the charred part of the wing? Just skip the grilling on high at the end and add a few more mins on low.
