Souchong Smoked Barbecue
Chicken Wings
Infused
with the strong flavors of Lapsong Souchong, these oriental wings are
simply delicious
3 pounds Chicken wings -- (16 wings)
3 Cl Garlic
1 tablespoon Ginger root -- grated
1 tablespoon Honey
3/4 cup Soy sauce
1/2 cup Sherry
1 cup Brown sugar
1 cup Lapsang souchong tea -- (loose)
Sesame seeds -- for garnish
1.
Using a knife, separate the mini drumstick end of the wing and slice
through between the joints. Cut the wing tip off and discard.
(any good butcher will do this for you.) Wash the chicken
thoroughly and pat dry.
2. Using the metal blade of your
processor, finely chop the garlic. Add the grated ginger root, honey,
soy sauce, and sherry, processing for 20 to 30 seconds to blend. Pour
the marinade in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, and add the chicken wings.
With a spoon, drizzle the marinade over all the wings.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, rotating the chicken
wings at least once.
3.
To smoke the chicken, choose a heavy steel or cast iron roasting pan or
skillet with a tight fitting lid. Line the bottom of the pan with heavy
duty aluminum foil. Sprinkle the brown sugar and tea on top of the
foil.
Place a cake rack in the skillet, over the sugar and tea mixture, and arrange the chicken wings on the rack.
Cover
the pan or skillet with a lid (or heavy aluminum foil if the lid does
not fit snugly). Turn on your kitchen exhaust fan. Turn the burner on
high, and leave chicken on high heat for 30 minutes (see Note).
Do
not remove the lid to check. Turn off the heat after 30 minutes, and
keep the chicken covered another 20 minutes. Smoked chicken will keep
for several days if well-wrapped and refrigerated. Serves 6 to 8 as an
appetizer.
Note: As
with any recipe requiring a dish to be cooked at high heat, use
caution. Since this dish does produce smoke, it is imperative to use
your kitchen exhaust fan, and to have a pan or skillet with a tight
fitting
lid.
NOTES:
Smoking with tea is a traditional Chinese approach to preparing
chicken. To the Western eye, the darkened skin resembles Cajun-style
cuisine. These flavorful, bite-size chicken wings make a delicious
appetizer when served
plain, or with your favorite mustard, peanut or teriyaki sauce.
