Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons sambal oelek (chili paste)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pounds chicken wings
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, lime juice, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sambal oelek, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Whisk until the mixture is well emulsified.
Place the chicken wings in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Marinate the chicken wings in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for baking.
For grilling: Grill the wings for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wings are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
For baking: Arrange the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.
Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce and a side of fresh lime wedges for extra zing. Enjoy the fiery, flavorful kick of the Komodo Dragon Chicken Wings Marinade!
