Ingredients
-
16 chicken wings, with the two joints attached, tips removed
-
1 cup ketchup
-
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
-
1/4 cup hot sauce
-
1/4 cup soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
Directions
-
Make a slash on the inside of the chicken wing joints without cutting through the bone and in a few other places. In a large, shallow baking dish, combine the ketchup with the mustard, hot sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar. Add the chicken wings and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
-
Light a grill. Remove the chicken wings from the marinade (pantry sauce), leaving some of it on them, and reserve the remaining marinade. Grill the wings over a medium-hot fire, turning and basting them with the reserved marinade, until nicely charred and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Stop basting during the last 5 minutes of grilling and discard any remaining marinade. Serve the wings hot or at room temperature.
Notes
A "pantry sauce" is one that can be made with ingredients, such as ketchup, mustard and soy sauce, that can be found in the home pantry.
Suggested Pairing
Beer
Nothing's better with a platter of spicy wings—Buffalo or not—than beer. Reach for a malty, flavorful ale like Old Speckled Hen.
