Description:
Elevate your chicken wings game with our fiery Komodo Dragon Chicken Wings Marinade recipe! Infused with bold Asian flavors and a tantalizing heat, these wings are perfect for lunch, snacks, or any occasion that calls for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 12-16 chicken wings
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, dry sherry, minced garlic clove, and five-spice powder. Stir well to ensure all the flavors meld together.
-
Marinate the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a gallon-sized ziplock bag or a large plastic container. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, ideally up to 48 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat deeply. For optimal flavor infusion, turn the wings every 8 hours.
-
Grill the Wings: After marinating, remove the wings from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the wings from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
-
Grill Until Done: Place the wings on the preheated grill and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and charred to perfection. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as the sugar in the marinade may cause them to darken quickly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the wings are cooked to your desired level of crispiness and juiciness, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with some fresh cilantro or green onions for a pop of color and flavor. Serve hot and enjoy the fiery goodness of these Komodo Dragon Chicken Wings!
