Spicy, sweet grilled chicken wings are a must on any party menu. These Japanese-inspired wings are first marinated with a sake, soy sauce, ginger and garlic mixture. Then they’re skewered before grilling for easy cooking and a fun presentation. Sprinkle with Homemade Wasabi Furikake Seasoning for a bold finishing touch.
Ingredients
50 gram (2 ounce) brown sugar
50 millilitres (2 fluid ounce) mirin
50 millilitres (2 fluid ounce) sake
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Granules
900 gram chicken wing pieces
2 teaspoon cornflour
1 tablespoon Homemade Wasabi Furikake Seasoning, plus additional for sprinkling
1 spring onion, thinly sliced
Cooking tip
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents them from burning on the grill.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 Mix the brown sugar, mirin, sake, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and garlic granules in a medium bowl. Reserve half for the glaze.
- 2 Place the chicken wings in a large re-sealable plastic bag and add the remaining half of the marinade, turning so they are well coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer for extra flavour.
- 3 Stir the cornflour into the reserved marinade and bring to the boil in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat to a low simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes. Stir in Wasabi Furikake Seasoning then pour the glaze into a large bowl and set aside.
- 4 Remove the wings from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade. Thread the wing pieces onto skewers. Grill the wings over a medium heat 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through, turning occasionally.
- 5 Brush the wings with the reserved glaze. Sprinkle with the additional Wasabi Furikake Seasoning and spring onions before serving.
