Hickory Smoked Jerk Chicken Wings With Pickled Pineapple Recipes

JERK CHICKEN AND PINEAPPLE KEBABS

Steps:

• Pulse the vinegar, rum, brown sugar, scallions, garlic, chile, Pickapeppa sauce, ginger, allspice, and pumpkin pie spice in a food processor to make a slightly chunky sauce. Heat the oil in a medium skillet and cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring, until the oil is absorbed and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Cool.
• Rub the jerk paste all over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat or prepare a grill. Thread the chicken, scallions, and pineapple alternately on skewers (if you use wooden ones, soak them in water for 15 minutes before threading them). Season with salt. (Leave a little space around the meat so the heat gets to all sides.) Grill, turning, until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.

SMOKED JERK CHICKEN WINGS WITH SPICY HONEY-TAMARIND GLAZE

Steps:

• Brine the chicken: Combine 2 quarts water, the salt and sugar in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil and cook until the salt and sugar dissolve, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the garlic, thyme, cinnamon, allspice, peppercorns and Scotch bonnet. Let the brine cool completely. Add the chicken wings to the brine, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours. Remove the wings from the brine, rinse well with cold water and pat dry. Put the wings on a baking rack set over a baking sheet and put in the refrigerator to dry, at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours. Meanwhile, soak 2 cups pimento or apple wood chips in water at least 30 minutes.
• Make the glaze: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Pour in the orange juice and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Add the tamarind, ketchup and honey and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, whisk in the vinegar and Sriracha, and season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly. Heat your grill to medium for indirect grilling. Add the drained wood chips to the coals in a charcoal grill or put them in the smoker box of a gas grill. Close the grill cover and let smoke build, 10 minutes. Add the wings to the grill directly over the heat source, close the lid and grill until golden brown on both sides, 10 to 15 minutes per side. Transfer to the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat), cover the grill and continue cooking until the wings are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Put the wings in a large bowl. Add the honey-tamarind glaze and toss to coat. Season with salt, transfer to plates and garnish with scallions.

HICKORY SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS WITH JERK SAUCE AND LIME

Steps:

• For the marinade: Whisk together the vinegar, curry powder, fish sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, palm sugar, Thai chilies, cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, lemongrass, coriander, granulated sugar, star anise, garlic and kaffir lime leaves in a large container. Add the chicken wings and enough water to fully cover. Refrigerate overnight.
• Transfer the chicken wings to hotel pans in a single layer skin-side up, making sure to remove as many seeds or herbs from the marinade as possible. Refrigerate uncovered 1 to 3 hours so the chicken wings lightly dry and build a pellicle.
• Prepare a smoker with hickory wood and heat it to 225 degrees F. Transfer the wings to the smoker and smoke until just barely cooked on the inside, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Let cool.
• For the jerk sauce: Whisk together the lime juice, ground black pepper, cafe black pepper, curry powder, fish sauce and salt to taste in a small bowl.
• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep fryer or pot. Place the wings in the oil skin-side up, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook until golden brown, then transfer to a drip tray, rack or paper towels.
• Brush the jerk sauce on the wings while they are still hot. Serve on butcher paper with the cilantro and limes.
