Well, I don\u2019t know where you live but here in Colorado it\u2019s been scorching hot. I\u2019m talking like in the 100\u2019s hot. We haven\u2019t had this kind of heat in at least 5 years. In my book (and my dog Tommy\u2019s book) it\u2019s too hot to do anything productive outside. It\u2019s really been awful but alas, we have a beautiful day in the 80\u2019s today. I am thrilled and find myself going outside and playing in my garden!<\/p>\n
When it\u2019s this hot (you have to remember, in Denver, we are at 5280 feet, we are much closer to the sun, so hot here is really hotter than when the thermometer says), eating and cooking are the furthest things from your mind. I have been running my Traeger<\/a> like crazy and eating salads. It\u2019s all a girl can do to keep the house cool!<\/p>\n Last week it was my turn to bring the main course to the tennis picnic after our match. I decided that chicken wings would be something fun to bring that everyone would love and that I didn\u2019t need to heat up my house making. I was right. These wings were a big hit!<\/p>\n I came up with the idea of these wings from everyone\u2019s favorite Sesame Chicken found at just about any (American) Chinese restaurant. It is more sweet than spicy and at the restaurant, it is fried to give it a deliciously crispy texture. The sesame marinade was easy. It\u2019s loaded with lots of sesame oil, garlic, ginger, tamari (soy), a bit of heat and honey. A perfect Asian marinade for the typically boring chicken wing!<\/p>\n If you know me,\u00a0 I rarely eat fried foods so I needed to improvise on the crispy chicken part\u2026<\/p>\n I follow a lot of grilling\/smoking forums and blogs, and something that is discussed quite often is how to make the chicken crispy on the grill. The biggest complaint is that the skin turns out like rubber. Well, the reason that this is a common complaint is that the skin is \u201cwet\u201d when it goes on the grill. It is easily avoidable if you pat the wings dry. I mean really dry them off before putting them on the grill. This is the same way for all meats, give them a good drying before grilling to achieve all those beautiful grill marks.<\/p>\n To make them really crispy, basting the wings with a thick and gloriously sticky sauce will put your wings over the top and much healthier than anything fried for sure. I hope that you give them a try. So much better than what you can order out!<\/p>\n Marinating chicken wings is as easy this! Place everything in a gallon-sized zippy bag, close it up and let it do its thing. Minimum 4 hours up to overnight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I\u2019m salivating just looking at this picture! I need to make another batch of these sooner than later! Whoever thought that a chicken wing could be so pretty?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sesame Chicken Wings on a plate ready for the party.
