Glazed Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings or Drummies
How many could Grandpa eat??
Makes 20 to 25 pieces.
- 20 to 25 chicken wings
- 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon rice-wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon light-brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon Asian chile paste
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- Vegetable-oil cooking spray
Directions:
Prepare the wings by cutting through the joint to make two pieces. Snip off the tips. Put the wings in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.
Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, lime juice, sugar, garlic, ginger, and chile paste in a small bowl, and whisk well. Brush liberally on the chicken wings, turning them to coat both sides.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable-oil cooking spray. The coals should be moderately hot. Grill the wings, turning with tongs 3 to 4 times and brushing with any remaining glaze during the first 10 minutes of grilling or until cooked through, 15 to 25 minutes.
Serve immediately.
