  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

2

chiles de árbol or ½ tsp. red pepper flakes

2

pounds chicken wings, tips removed, flats and drumettes separated

½

cup rice vinegar

2

tablespoons olive oil

4

garlic cloves, peeled, smashed

1

tablespoon agave syrup (nectar) or honey

2

scallions, thinly sliced, plus more

2

teaspoons Kosher salt, plus more

Freshly ground pepper

2

teaspoons baking soda

2

teaspoons ground cumin

1

teaspoons togarashi or hot paprika

Lime wedges, for serving

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Toast chiles in small dry skillet over medium-high heat; let cool slightly and lightly crush. Combine chiles, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, agave, and scallions in a resealable plastic bag. Season with 2 tsp. salt and pepper. Add chicken; seal bag, eliminating air, and shake to distribute ingredients. Chill overnight.

    Step 2

    Prepare grill for medium-low heat. Remove wings from refrigerator and let come to room temperature, 35-50 minutes. Remove wings from bag and pat dry very well with paper towels. Discard marinade.

    Step 3

    Mix baking soda, cumin, and togarashi in a large bowl; season with salt. Add wings and toss to coat. Grill wings, turning occasionally, until cooked through and charred in spots, 15-20 minutes. To serve, squeeze lime juice over wings and sprinkle with scallions.

  • Tasted AMAZING big fan of the recipe - couldn't be bothered buying scallions so I just added some onion powder. Also, subbed half the rice vinegar for apple cider vinegar. One thing i will say was that it was SUPER salty, would definitely half the amount of salt I put in there. Been drinking water all evening now!
