ASIAN WINGS

Category: Grilled Starters

2 dozen chicken wings, cut in halves
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 large red onion, peeled and diced
1/2 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 tbsp garlic, minced
2 tbsp ginger root, minced
1 small chili pepper, minced
3 small limes, juiced
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat vegetable oil in a sauce pan until hot. Add the onion and bell pepper, and sauté for six minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and the chili pepper, sauté an additional two minutes. Stir in the hoisin sauce and bring to a simmer for four minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cut through both joints of the chicken wings into three sections. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Place charcoal in a pyramid shape and light. Wait until coals are gray and spread in a single layer for the direct heat method. Spray grid with non-stick spray and let grid heat over the hot coals.

Place the wings on the grid over a medium-hot fire, turning occasionally until golden brown, for approximately five to six minutes. Before removing from the grid, cut into the thicker part of one of the wings to see if it is done all the way through. If so, remove from grid and place in a medium sized bowl. Add the lime juice, sesame seed oil and vinegar. Toss and serve right away, as finger food prior to the main course.
