For this month, I wanted to share a great recipe for some pretty simple, super crispy grilled chicken wings. These are on the weekly rotation in my house, especially during the fall for watching football. My favorite flavor as of lately is a Spicy Japanese BBQ Sauce on the wings; this combined with the Holy Voodoo seasoning and that char from the fire on the grill creates an incredible flavor that will be a gameday hit!
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 dozen separated chicken wings (scale

• Meat Church Holy Voodoo seasoning
• Bachans Spicy Japanese BBQ Sauce
• Sesame seeds
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Fire up your grill to high heat. I typically do these on my Kamado grill using lump charcoal running around 400-500 degrees.
• Set up two cooking zones on your grill; in the kamado, I have one grate low right over the coals and one grate elevated a little higher. If your grates do not separate – have hot coals on one side of the grill and leave a cool side to finish the wings.
• While the grill is getting heated up, pat the wings dry, apply the Holy Voodoo seasoning generously and let the seasoning adhere for at least 15 minutes.
• Throw the wings directly over the coals and let them cook for about 15 minutes (depending on grill temp) – flipping halfway until you get some good char and they are temping around 150.
Once there is good char all over the wing and the temperature is getting close, move to the indirect side of the grill and let them finish. I like to let them cook until they temp around 175-185 to be nice and crispy. But, if you’re in a time crunch, poultry is good to goat 165.
• Once the wings are finished up, place them in a large mixing bowl and addat least a 1⁄2 cup of the Spicy Bachans BBQ Sauce and toss the wings until completely coated.
• Lastly, add some sesame seeds on top for a garnish and you’re ready to enjoy!The Holy Voodoo Cajun seasoning complements the Spicy Japanese BBQ sauce perfectly for a different type of wing flavor to switch it up from thetypical Buffalo or BBQ sauce!
