BBQ chicken wings are always a winner whenever and wherever they are served. These wings marinated with the sweet and tangy Asian inspired homemade barbecue sauce are just great for the grill. It's best to marinate the wings for at least 8 hours or prepare them the night before grilling. A brush with honey just when the wings are about cooked give these wings such a glossy and delectable finish.
Cut chicken wings into 3 sections. Using a sharp knife cut down the joint separating and discarding the tip. And another cut right along the drummet leaving 2 pieces.
Next, prepare the sauce.
Pour teriyaki sauce into a large bowl.
Add in oyster sauce along with the light soy sauce and tomato ketchup.
Add garlic powder, rum and sugar.
Stir the sauce ingredients together to combine.
Then place the chicken wings in the sauce.
Turn the wings to make sure they are well coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate the chicken wings in the fridge for 8 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat the grill to cook the chicken wings.
Place the charcoal briquettes in the centre of the grill.
Light the charcoal briquettes. It takes about 15 minutes to get the charcoal to turn into coal and glow red. Use a grilling tong to even out the flame.
Lightly oil the grill grate.
Arrange chicken wings in a circle around the hot coal with the bone part of the wings pointed towards the flame and fat part is up.
Pour some marinade on top of the chicken wings.
Put the lid on and grill chicken wings on one side for about 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes or so, remove the lid, turn the chicken wings around and brush with honey.
Cover and continue to grill for about 25 minutes or until juices run clear, stirring occasionally.
