JJ and Phil are chicken wing fans. They choose these spicy (or not so spicy) items as their entree more often than you can imagine.
Hear about their favorite sauces, a trick to eating the perfect wing and a recipe that JJ has refined over the years for a Root Beer Chicken Wing!
Secondly, how about a great recipe for cooking up a batch of your own chicken wings? JJ has a tried and true method for ROOT BEER CHICKEN WINGS
A) Get a frozen bag of chicken wings – drums and legs, about 50. Let those babies thaw in the fridge.
B) Heat up the grill and grab a cast iron pan. Throw the pan on the grill so you have the pan on one side and the hot rack on the other.
C) Combine these ingredients and set in the fridge for an hour
1 1/2 cups of ketchup
1 twenty oz bottle of root beer (I suggest barqs)
3 tablespoons of worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp Onion powder
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
half a lemon (juiced)
D) Combine the following and then marinade the wings for an hour
1/4 a cup of olive oil
half an orange (hand juiced – zest the peel a bit too)
1 tablespoon of ginger (zested)
1 tablespoon fine salt
1 tablespoon finely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
E) Spray grill non-stick compound on the area you will sear the wings. Next, cook the wings over high heat for about 3 minutes per side. While cooking the wings, pour the root beer mixture into a cast iron skiller (which should be piping hot by now). It should be bubbling a bit by the time the wings are ready. KEEP STIRRING. Don’t allow it to burn.
F) Add the wings to the root beer mixture bath. Mix them around as they cook. Simmer those little beauties for 12 minutes. While you are waiting, clean the grates on the opposite side of the grill. Get them ready for the big finish.
G) Finish the wings by putting them on the hot grates. Act quickly so you can manage an even cook of the wings. Crisp up the outside. Feel free to coat the wings in a second round of the sauce if you like sticky, saucy wings.
H) Serve to your guests. A sweet BBQ sauce for dipping has been my guests favorite – but you do what you like. Wings are best when you get’em just the way you like’em.
