Wings Two Ways. It’s Wing Night! Can’t go out for wings? No worries, we’ve got wings, two ways! One spicy and sweet, the other sweet and tangy.
Option #1, we’re indebted to our friend Elaine Quan (Instagram: @quanner922) for her inspiring recipe which we made a couple tweaks to.
Option #2, you have to use Billy Bones BBQ‘s Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce. My niece Jessica and nephew-in-law Mitch are two of the minds behind this Ribfest fan favourite purveyor of grilled thrills, and I’m grateful to them for introducing me to this mustard-infused, tangy concoction. If you can’t find the sauce, look for a mustard-based BBQ Sauce.
Ingredients:
4 lbs chicken wings
3 egg whites
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons sea salt
Sauce #1:
1/4 cup Gochujang (Korean Pepper Paste)
3 teaspoons organic maple syrup
