Naked Wings II

Preparing for the weekend tailgate...fixed our simple recipe which turned out wonderful as always...we will slop them around in some mild wing sauce afterwards this time around.

Ingredients

€        4 Lb. – Chicken Drumettes (approx.25- 30 pieces)

€        Paul Prudhomme’s Magic Poultry Seasoning

Directions

1.    Rinse chicken in the sink and drain.

2.    Place pieces in a large plastic bag or mixing bowl.

3.    Sprinkle the poultry seasoning generously and mix or shake to cover each piece lightly and set aside (return to refrigerator if you are not going to grill in the next 30-40 minutes)

4.    Fire up your Egg and raise the grid by 2”; place the extended grid on top of the original and close the lid and let the temperature stabilize at about 350 degrees.

5.    Once stabilized open the lid and place all the wing-ettes and drummettes onto the grids and close the lid and let cook until done (approximately 20 minutes).  Turning once might be necessary.  When finished remove and let sit for 5 minutes then toss in your favorite dipping sauces or serve naked.

Oriental Chicken Drumettes

Well you can use whatever part of the chicken you choose actually but I prefer Drumettes! You know, the small fleshy part of a chicken wing, often fried and served as an appetizer. [drum(stick) + -ette.] To make this recipe you have to spend a whopping five minutes preparing a simple marinade which is cheap and easy to prepare. When cooked you can eat them ‘as is’ or dip them in your favorite dipping sauce, hot, garlic, whatever you prefer.

Ingredients

3 Lb. – Chicken Drumettes (approx. 30 pieces)
½ Cup – Soy Sauce
1/3 Cup – Honey
2 Tbsp. – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. – Chili Sauce
½ Tsp. – Garlic Powder
½ Tsp. – Fresh Ground Sea Salt

Preparation and Cooking
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well to blend.
2. Place chicken drumettes in a rectangular (9 x 13) baking dish.
3. Pour the sauce over the chicken to coat. Let marinate for 3 hours, turning the chicken after 90 minutes.
4. Preheat Big Green Egg to approximately 350 degrees (dome temp) and insert the plate setter with legs up and place a drip pan large enough to catch drippings from the drumettes while they cook.

Drain Chicken and preserve Marinade. Place drumettes directly on the grid and close the lid. Slow cook them to perfection, (approximately 45 minutes) brushing them occasionally with the marinade.  Remove from heat and let rest before serving.
