Spicy Tangy Chicken Wings

Spicy Tangy Chicken Wings

Ingredients

24 chicken wings (3 lbs), tips removed
½ cup distilled white vinegar
½ cup orange juice
Zest of 2 oranges
¾ cup honey
8 garlic cloves
2 tbsp coriander seeds, toasted
2 tbsp cumin seeds, toasted
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup cilantro leaves
2 tbsp salt
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts

Directions

Score wings 3 times on each side. In a blender, combine vinegar, orange juice, zest, honey, garlic, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, oregano, pepper flakes, cilantro and salt and puree at high speed for 30 seconds. Reserve 1/4 cup for basting wings during cooking; cover and refrigerate. Place wings in large freezer bags, pour remaining marinade over, toss, close bags and refrigerate overnight.

Transport to game in a cooler. Prepare a medium fire in a grill and oil grate. Drain wings. Place wings on hot grate and grill 7 to 8 minutes per side, basting frequently with reserved marinade. To test for doneness, pry open one of the scores with a knife blade. There should be no blood on bone, and wings should be brown and caramelized. To serve, sprinkle with scallions and arrange on a platter.
(Can also deep fry 375* or bake in oven at 250°F for 2 – 2 1/2 hours, turning and basting every 30-40 minutes. When wings are done they will be tender.) Remove from sauce and serve immediately or keep warm in a Crock-Pot.
