I really like Mediterranean and Tuscan style cuisine. I also love chicken wings. A recipe was formed in my bent and twisted mind.
This recipe is not an authentic recipe from the region, it is just my attempt to use the flavours in making chicken wings.
I preheated my Traeger Timberline to 350 F (176 C). While it was heating, I made my glaze by mixing:
I mixed the following for a seasoning mix:
Put the wings in the smoker for 25 minutes. Turn the wings and cook to an internal temperature over 170 F. Brush with the glaze and cook for 5 to 10 minutes to set the glaze.
Bring the wings in and toss them with some of the glaze.
Put on a plate and serve.
The Verdict
These caused dissention. People either loved them or were indifferent to them. They are not spicy, sweet like most wings. They have a sweet/sour base from the balsamic and a strong herb hit. Some really liked them but others wanted a more classic wing. However, all were eaten quickly.
I found them to be very tasty. They had the taste I was looking for. They are a pleasant change from the regular fare.
