Units
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed, flats and drums seperated
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
- 1 cup pepper jelly
- 1” ginger, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 1/2 tablespoons less sodium soy sauce
- 1/2–1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, depending on preferred heat level
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons green onions, plus additional for serving
- Cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Mix together the salt, pepper, garlic, and cayenne if using. You can also use 3 teaspoons of your favorite savory seasoning instead.
- Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken wings. Place the wings on a wire rack fit into a baking sheet. Allow to refrigerate for at least an hour before grilling. This can be done the night before.
- Take your wings out while you heat up the grill.
- Prepare your grill for indirect grilling. If using a kettle style grill place the charcoal into the center of the grill, leaving the outer perimeter as the cooler zone. For all other types of grills bank the charcoal to one side of the grill leaving the other side of the grill cooler. For gas grills only ignite 2-3 burners. Close the lid and let your grill heat to between 375-400 degrees.
- Place the seasoned wings on the cooler side of the grill and close the lid. Let them grill for 20-25 minutes undisturbed.
- While the wings are grilling make your sauce. Add the pepper jelly, ginger, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and soy sauce to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted. Once melted let come to a simmer and bubble for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Stir in the cold butter, lime juice, and green onions. Set aside.
- Flip the wings, and rotate them if needed. Allow them to grill another 20-25 minutes.
- Continue to flip and rotate until your wings have reached 175 degrees or until your wings have reached your desired crispness. You can place them over direct heat to get them extra crispy if desired.
- Remove the wings from the grill and place into a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the top and sauce to combine and fully coat.
- Arrange the sauced wings on a serving platter. Garnish with cilantro, green onions, and lime wedges. You can also top with pickled Fresno chilis if desired.
