Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 Pounds Chicken Wings about 15-17 wings
  • 2 Teaspoons Chinese Five Spice Seasoning ground
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper ground
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon White Miso Paste
  • 3 Teaspoons Garlic minced, about 3 large cloves
  • 1/4 Cup Rice Vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Mix everything except chicken wings together until combined. I've recently decided to mix in a blender instead of a bowl to avoid bits of garlic and miso paste not getting blended.
  • Place in large plastic bag or casserole dish. Add the chicken wings and make sure they are thoroughly coated with marinade. If in a dish, cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • Take out of refrigerator and let get to room temperature for about an hour – this will help them cook more evenly.
  • Get your grill nice and hot (around 500°F / 260°C).
  • Start cooking wings on direct heat (See information above about grill mat) and baste with some of the remaining marinade (it’s OK, it’s still cooking). Expect to see some char on these wings.
  • Flip wings over after about 6 minutes, baste again and cook for another 6 minutes.
  • Move to indirect heat (flipping again in the process) and lower heat to 425°F / 220°C and cook for about another 10-12 minutes or until internal temp is 160°F / 71.1°C (USDA recommends 165°F / 73.89°C, but it’s going to keep cooking even after you take them off the grill).
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and/or sesame seeds. (Optional: Serve with our miso buttered corn on the cob, fried chanterelles or shittake mushrooms and our Asian Crack Sauce for extra spice.)
