SWEET-AND-TASTY-CHICKEN-WINGS-AND DRUMMETTES-WITH-A-HINT-OF-ORANGE.

These fellows were supposed to be the main course, but they quickly disappeared as they came off the grill. So…they just ended up been a snack type of thing to a “MAN-EATER”; and the worst part was that the man-eater is the “CHEF” of the house. “Yikes! The chef ate most of them!”

Luckily I had a contingency plan, just in case there wasn’t enough food at the dinner table. I had also grilled chicken breasts that became the main course for that evening and the chicken wings and drummettes ended up being appetizers.

Never the less, here are those deliciously sweet and tasty chicken wings and drummettes with a hint of orange.

 

 

THE RECIPE

I started out setting up the barbecue grill and lighting up the coals. During the time the coals ashed over, I had rinsed the chicken wings and drummettes in cool running water and patted them dry. In a large bowl combine 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of orange zest, the juice of 1 medium to regular size orange, 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grounded pepper, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of Cheyenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix well and add chicken wings and drummettes to marinade while the coals ash over (10-20 minutes).

TO THE GRILL

Grill the chicken wings and drummettes over medium to hot coals or  direct heat for 15-20 minutes or until the juices run clear when poked at the meatiest part and turning over at least 3 times during the cooking time.

Unless you are running solo…resist the temptation of eating all of them by yourself.

Super Sweet Fully Loaded New York Steak

“Super Sweet Fully Loaded New York Steak!”

 

This is a super sweet fully loaded New York Steak that is really easy to grill.

 

As usual, start up that grill at least 30 minutes in advance to get those coals ashing over. For this dish I used alder chips that were soaking in water for 10 minutes. This prevents the chips from burning up too quickly and allows them to smoke for a longer period. I don’t add those wood chips until I am ready to throw those New York steaks on the grill.

Getting the grill ready ahead of time allows coals to ash over.

 

Meanwhile, I oiled, spiced, and let those steaks reach room temperature before hitting the grill. Having the steaks reach room temperature will speed the cooking process and will allow the steaks to cook more thoroughly.  The oil gives the steak a little flavor as well and prevents them from sticking to the grill. I use about a tablespoon of light olive oil and sprinkled some of McCormick’s Grill Mates spice. The chosen one for today was Smokehouse Maple which I pressed onto the steaks with the sides of a kitchen knife. I only trimmed one steak though for a picky person.

Lightly oiled, spiced, and trimmed New York Steak.

 

After the coals had ashed over and I added the soaked alder wood chips I threw the steaks on the grill for 7 minutes turning only once after the 4 minute mark. As a side, I had split lengthwise, oiled, and seasoned some zucchini with some salt and pepper.
