I like General Tso Chicken as a stir fry and decided to do a chicken wing version.
I started off by mixing
I heated 8 ml (1 1/2 tsp) of oil in a small saucepan and added
I tossed 12 chicken wing segments in 15 ml (1 tbsp) of oil.
Here is where there is a struggle in our household. I like a touch of crisp in my skin and for it to be bite through. She Who Must Be Obeyed likes a really crisp skin. When I am doing it for me, I smoke at 350 F for 25 minutes, turn them and smoke for 25 minutes longer. When I want them very crisp for SWMBO, I smoke them for 20 minutes at 375 F, turn and smoke for 20 minutes more. This smoke, I did the crisp ones for the missus.
I brought them in and put them in a large bowl.
I heated the sauce and tossed the wings in it. I put the wings and the sauce in a serving dish.
Here's the finished product. Sorry for the poor picture.
I did a video of this smoke.
The Verdict
SWMBO really liked these. They have a sweet/sour sauce on a crispy skin. They only have a kiss of heat. She finds Scarbelly wings too hot and these just right. I prefer Scarbelly wings so I guess we will see both at our table!
