Description

Use the grill to make the best chicken wings ever. They are first placed in a wonderful marinade and then grilled. Finally they are dropped in a fantastic Root Beer BBQ Sauce.

Ingredients

• 50 chicken wings
• ¼ c. olive oil
• ½ T. grated ginger
• 1 T. grated orange zest
• freshly squeezed juice from 1 orange
• 1 T. salt
• 1 T. freshly ground black pepper
• ½ t. vanilla extract
• Root Beer BBQ Sauce:
• 1 c. root beer
• 1 c. ketchup
• 3 T. Worcestershire sauce
• 3 T. brown sugar
• ½ t. onion powder
• ½ t. garlic powder
• 1 t. salt
• 1 t. freshly ground black pepper
• freshly squeezed juice from one half lemon

Steps

1. Preheat a charcoal grill for a two zone cooking, having hot coals on one side and nothing on the other.
2. Mix olive oil, grated ginger, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract and 1 T. salt and pepper with the wings; marinate for 30 minutes.
3. Place wings on the hot grate directly over hot coals; sear for about 3 minutes per side; move to indirect side; cook 20 - 25 minutes at 450°F, because a crispy skin and a golden brown color are wanted.
