Ingredients

  • 24 Split wings or 12 whole
  • 2 tsp. Salt
  • 1/4 cup Pineapple Juice no sugar added
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
  • 1/4 cup Hot Honey see blog post notes above
  • 2 tbsp. Chili Paste or Sriracha
  • 1 tsp. Fresh Ginger minced
  • 3 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro minced

Instructions

  • Remove the wings from the packaging and pat them dry. Add the salt and set them aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce or aminos, the hot honey (recipe in the blog post above), chili paste, ginger, garlic, and cilantro together in a bowl. Whisk until combined.
  • Place the wings in a bowl or plastic bag. Add all but 1/4 cup of the marinade (reserve this and set it aside). Cover the wings and let them soak for at least 2-3 hours or even overnight (the longer the better).
  • Preheat your grill to 350 degrees F. and set the grill for indirect heat.
  • Remove the wings from the marinade and place on the grill grates to cook for about and hour or until they reach 165 F. They are safe to eat at this point, but I prefer to get a little char on my wings.
  • Place the wings over direct heat now and brush them with the reserved marinade mixture. Flip the wings constantly over the direct flame to prevent burning and too much caramelization. You will need to work quickly, work in batches if that's easier.
  • Once they hit around 180-190 degrees F. they are ready to come off the grill. Remove and set aside to rest about 5 minutes.
  • Serve with a little drizzle of hot honey or sriracha and grilled pineapple slices.

Notes

Want to make the hot honey syrup (you can buy this too, but it's simple to make).
Here is what you need:
  • 1/2 Small Jalapeno, sliced with seeds
  • 1/2 cup Honey,
  • 2 tbsp. Hot Water
Combine the hot water and honey. Let the jalapeno infused for an hour, strain and use in the recipe as needed. I like to make a little extra to drizzle over the wings at the end or use for BBQ sauce, cocktails, and more.
