Yeah, the one with sweet soy sauce, tamarind, and black pepper. In that post I mentioned it would be a great sauce on wings.
Not to say I told you so, but I was right (wait....I guess I AM telling you so! ha ha)
This isn't a recipe post, just a quick follow up to the previous idea. Since the sauce has Asian influences, I seasoned the wings with one of my favorite commercial rubs for chicken and seafood - Dizzy Pig's Tsunami Spin. It is loaded with Asian flavors like ginger, galangal, fenugreek, and sesame seeds in addition to other spices.
Grilled them with my normal wing technique - 30 minutes indirect at 375f.
Flipped them and cooked another 20 minutes. I tossed them in a big bowl with some of the Sweet Tamarind BBQ Sauce, put them back on the grill and cooked another 5-10 minutes.
Topped them with some toasted sesame seeds and some red pepper flake for some delicious chicken wings.
[Standard Disclaimer] I pay full price for my Dizzy Pig rubs. They are a favorite of barbecue and grilling guys and gals everywhere, especially with the Big Green Egg folks. They use fresh ingredients, use no MSG and are gluten free. Most importantly, they taste great.
oh they look perfect... and so delicious!!
ReplyDeleteYou're right. The sauce is great for the wings!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start calling you the wing king - yours always look soooo good and I like the different things you do with them - kinda like me and eggs.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I love about wings? EVERYTHING. The drumettes even come with a handle. The messier they are, the greater the fun.
ReplyDeleteRight again Chris. This looks fantastic.

Well of course they turned out amazing.. you have perfected the art of BBQ-ing wings... and I love the sauce for these, but that probably does not surprise you!
ReplyDeleteI've fried chicken wings and baked them, but I've never grilled them. Next time I'm going to follow your method.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are awesome!
Marilyn loves ginger, and we've done a few Asian wings in the past. These look delicous. Thanks Chris!
ReplyDeleteYUM! What an awesome followup to a great recipe. I love finding additional ways to use a sauce like this.
ReplyDeleteThese wings look fantastic. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThings I love - all things tamarind. All things Asian-spiced. All things that combine those two. I'd be licking the sauce/spices off those wings (but not actually eating the wings)...totally a legit vegetarian thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised at all that this sauce was good on wings...Delicious! I think the Asian tacos with wings on the side would make a great presentation and a meal.
ReplyDeleteI know I say it all the time but, I really do enjoy your grilling style/method. I get a lot of good ideas.

Nice...looking forward to being back in East Tennessee...and getting the grill stoked! Nice wings.
ReplyDeleteMmmm. I think I could eat the whole plateful and be totally happy!
ReplyDeleteTried this over the weekend with some smoked chicken thighs. I dusted the thighs with the Tsuanmi Spin and cooked then indirect on my egg at 300 for about an hour. Pulled them off and added the sauce on top of the thighs. It was very good.
ReplyDeleteYou've got me sold and hungry! I'll have to try the Tsuanmi Spin rub.
