Fiji Barbecued Chicken Wings
List of Ingredients
2 dozen chicken wings
***marinade/basting sauce***
8 ounces Kikkoman soy sauce
8 ounces sake
2 ounces Coco Lopez coconut cream
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
2 tablespoons herb-ox chicken bouillon powder
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
3 garlic cloves
2 fresh -- whole habanero or
-- scotch bonnet
-- peppers, up to 6
Recipe
Combine all ingredients for the basting sauce in a blender and puree at the highest speed. Then cut off and discard the small joint of each wing. Marinate the wings in the basting sauce for about two hours. I prefer a gas grill with a tight bed of ceramic briquettes for wings for maximum control.
Preheat the grill to its highest heat and quickly place the wings on the grill. After searing on one side, turn and sear the other side. Baste generously each time you turn the wings. After the initial searing, slowly start to reduce the heat and have a squirt bottle handy to douse any flame-ups from the chicken fat.
You may end up turning the wings ten times, and have the grill on low when you are done, but the wings should be crispy, evenly cooked and well caramelized with the basting sauce.
