Not your regular Chicken Wings

[ImportantElements]

So I wanted to make some wings the other day, and as much as I love buffalo style deep fried, I craved something different. I love the crispy skin and hot sauce, but with this recipe I decided to use charcoal. 

 

Its always hard to marinate wings because of the thick skin, its almost impossible to penetrate it with anything.  One thing that works very well on wings is a paste made of different dry peppers. 

 

I re hydrated some tasty varieties of peppers, and blended them with garlic and oil. 

 

 

24 hours later the color of wings get so nice 

 

 

I got some really cool thick skewers that work very well for wings and other tricky meats. Some hickory wood, and BAM 

 

 

 

 

For the Sauce - 

 

Very simple and tasty 

 

2 parts ketchup

2 parts tomato sauce

salt

pepper

1 teaspoon sunflower seed oil

1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons of finely chopped onion 

little bit of cilantro

and a little bit of lime juice

 

 

enjoy

Those wings look great... I imagine they'd be really tasty with just a squeeze of lime...
