Barbecue Chicken Wings..YUM!

Ok so I haven't been very good with this blog and it has been more than a year since I posted..but these chicken wings are absolutely delicious and I had to share the joy :D This recipe is easy breezy peeps! you gotta try it!

 Ingredients:
 10 whole chicken wings (not split into thigh and baby wings)
 Marinade:
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons vinegar
4 tablespoons hot sauce (Tabasco or lousiana or anything you have at home)
3 tablespoons green chilli sauce(or) 5 finely chopped green chillies
5 cloves garlic ( smashed, microplaned, chopped ..whatever you prefer)
2 teaspoons red chilli powder
2 teaspoons sugar (or) 1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, the skin on the wings has enough fat to keep this thing going in the oven so you can totally skip the oil)

 Method: 

1.Mix all the ingredients for the marinade and combine with the chicken wings.
2. Set aside for 2-3 hours or longer, I usually let it marinate for  the entire day if possible.
3. Place wings on a wire grill rack and pop them in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or slightly longer depending on the size of your wings.
4. Take them out after 35-40 minutes or when the meat leaves the bone. You can turn the oven temp up high and broil them for another 5 minutes if you want them extra crispy :) Serve immediately!

Tips:
1. Use a wire grill rack that has been coated with Pam or some kinda cooking spray or oil. Set your oven to heat from the top and bottom so you don't have to turn these around half way through. If you don't have a wire grill rack you could do these in a baking tray or cooking sheet but remember to turn the wings around after 20 minutes.
2. You can split the wings into the thigh/wing portions but I prefer not to cos the skin on the wings helps to seal the moisture and keeps the chicken really soft and tender. I personally feel that splitting the wings will break that seal :)
