Chilli-Beer Hot Wings (lots of pics)

Well here is what I grilled tonight, prior to Humpty Dumpty having his great fall. *sigh*

Tried out some of Steven Raichlen's Chilli-Beer Hot Wings, from Primal Grill...

BTW, Steven, there's a typo in the recipe...if you look at "Advance Preparation," it says "shrimp" instead of chicken wings.



Marinated the wings in some Wheat Ale for about 30 hours or so...





Dry Rub put together...







Basted with this toward the end:







Served with some cold oil fries:



Wings were great. I forgot to put the crushed peanuts on them at the end...oh well. And I think I'll try them without the Apple Wood Chunks next time. I think the ingredients were flavorful enough on their own. SR is the man...none of his recipes have ever failed me.

Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby those look good!

I love chicken wings... Those look delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

oh those look good.
will need to try this recipe.

The wings look great, Dyal...and typo or not, I'll bet shrimp would be good that way, too!

Looks mighty tasty. Gonna need to try that one. What was it you basted it with?

My go to wing recipe is a modification of this. I use a malty beer, woostie and a little hot sauce to marinade. It gives you that great sweety-salty taste to the wings.

Thx, ladies and gents... Griffin, it's the Sweet Chilli Sauce.

Those look great!

This recipe (unmodified) is in my top ten, and it's a great one for tinkering with as well. I've even done the recipe with shrimp, as per the typo, and it was great too.

Nice job, Dyal! The applewood is just one of the many woods that work with these wings, although it isn't for everyone. I've gotten great results using maple, cherry, alder, mesquite (oddly enough) and even corncobs. Next time I do them I'll try the whiskey barrel chunks if they're dry enough now.

I seem to recall that Steven mentioned that he got the recipe from the Big Rock Brewery in Calgary Alberta. I've tried it with Big Rock beer (as it's also my favorite) and this recipe is pure heaven.
