Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 40 wings

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken wings cut into wingettes and drumettes (video demonstration here)
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons roasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds optional
  • aluminum foil
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prep grill, light charcoal, etc.
  2. Combine minced garlic, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, salt and cayenne pepper in a large bowl and mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Prepare chicken wings into wingettes and drumettes. Using kitchen shears, cut off the wing tip and discard then cut the wing in two at the joint (again, this video is a very helpful visual demonstration).
  4. Place chicken wingettes and drumettes from step 3 in the large bowl with glaze from step 2. Toss wings until completely coated with glaze.
  5. Lay out foil on two baking sheets. Spray foil with cooking spray. Remove wings from the glaze and arrange on the foil in two rows. There should be glaze remaining in the bottom of the bowl. Keep this!! You will need it for step 7.
  6. Slide foil onto hot grill (depending on how big your grill is, you may need to cook the wings in two batches). Close lid of grill and cook wings for about 6-8 minutes. Open grill, flip the wings then cook covered for another 6-8 minutes.
  7. Move wings from foil to the grill grate. Using the remaining glaze from step 5, brush the wings with extra glaze. Cook for about 1 minute with the lid open (or until you see grill char lines) then flip, re-glaze and cook for another minute on the second side.
  8. Remove wings from the grill, sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds then DEVOUR because these are amazing!
