INGREDIENTS:
For the marinade 2 ½ pounds chicken drumettes (these are part of the wing, but look like little drumsticks) 4 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil ¼ cup soy sauce 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger 1-2 teaspoons (more if you like it spicy) chili garlic sauce ½ teaspoon B&B Texas Style Garlic Pepper Seasoning 1 cup Cola (red label, white swoosh) For Korean Barbecue Glaze 1 cup soy sauce ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar ¼ cup rice vinegar 3 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press 1-2 teaspoons (or more for extra heat) chili garlic sauce 1 ½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil 1 ¼ teaspoons freshly grated ginger ½ teaspoon B&B Texas Style Garlic Pepper Seasoning 2 tablespoons corn starch 2 tablespoons honey For the garnish 1 tablespoon chopped green onion 1-2 teaspoons sesame seeds
DIRECTIONS:
For the marinade The night before the game, place wing drumettes in a large bowl. Add garlic, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, grated ginger, garlic chili sauce, B&B Texas Style Garlic Pepper Seasoning and 1 cup Cola (we prefer the red label with white swoosh). Using your hands, work the marinade into the wings. llow them to marinate anywhere from 12-24 hours ideally, but 4 hours at the very least. For the Korean Barbeque Glaze Pre-game: add all ingredients, except for the honey, to a medium-size, oven-safe saucepan, and whisk to combine. Place the saucepan on the grill over medium heat, and allow the mixture to come to a simmer. Whisk frequently, until the glaze becomes glossy and thickened. Remove from heat. Finish the glaze by whisking in the honey. Allow it to cool slightly. For the wings Light B&B Mesquite Natural Lump Charcoal, drink a beer, and let burn until glowing hot. Remove the wing drumettes from the marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. Discard remaining marinade. Place drumettes on grill grate. Turning occasionally, cook until well browned on all sides, approximately 25-30 minutes. Remove from heat. Add wing drumettes to a large steel bowl and toss with Korean Barbeque Glaze.
Turn wings out onto a large serving platter, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion. Serves to 4-6 hungry football fans. Of course, this depends on how many beers have been consumed
