Pomegranate Chile Wings
Prep Time: 10 mins|Cook Time: 25 mins
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Just Bare Chicken Wingettes & Drumettes
- Chicken Marinade:
- 4 small dried Persian limes
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 3 limes
- 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp Aleppo pepper
- 1/2 tsp baking soda (optional)
- 3 tbsp canola oil
- 1 lemon
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp Aleppo or cayenne or Kashmiri chili powder (to taste)
- Sesame seeds, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 390 degrees.
- Blend the limes, garlic, black pepper, coriander, cumin, Aleppo pepper, baking soda (if desired), salt and oil. Coat wings in the mixture.
- Grill for approx. 25 minutes, rotating a couple of times during the cook, or until internal temperature reaches 185 degrees, ensuring chicken is tender and any redness near the bone is cooked away.
- While wings cook, squeeze 2 tbsp of lemon juice (about half of one lemon) into a small bowl and set aside.
- Cut the remaining lemon into wedges and set aside for serving.
- In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil over medium. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the lemon juice, molasses, remaining black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, and chili.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes to slightly reduce and thicken. Set the glaze aside.
- Toss the cooked wings in glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve!
