TERIYAKI CHICKEN-WING AND VEGETABLE SKEWERS



Teriyaki Chicken-Wing and Vegetable Skewers image

Food clings well to both single- or double-pronged bamboo or wooden skewers, so you can use either for this recipe. They must both be soaked in cool water for half an hour before grilling to avoid catching fire.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
2 teaspoons grated garlic (from 2 cloves)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 whole chicken wings (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1 Japanese eggplant, cut into 3/4-inch rounds
1 bunch scallions (about 8), white and light-green parts only, cut into 3-inch pieces
8 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
16 shishito peppers
2 bunches enoki mushrooms (3 1/2 ounces each), woody bottoms removed, cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 slices bacon, halved crosswise, then lengthwise
12 ounces thick asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
Safflower oil, for brushing
Toasted sesame seeds, lemon wedges, and flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for serving

Steps:

  • Soak 28 seven-inch bamboo skewers in water 30 minutes; drain. Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 2/3 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon pepper; let cool.
  • Thread each chicken wing onto a skewer. Thread 2 pieces each eggplant and scallion onto skewers. Thread 2 pieces each shiitake and scallion onto skewers. Thread shishitos 4 per skewer. Divide enokis into 12 equal bundles; wrap each in a piece of bacon, then thread 3 per skewer. Thread asparagus 5 per skewer. Lightly brush eggplant, shiitake, and asparagus skewers with oil.
  • Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking (medium-high on a gas grill). Lightly brush grates with oil. Grill chicken skewers 5 minutes. Flip chicken and add eggplant and shiitake skewers; grill 5 minutes more. Flip chicken, eggplant, and shiitake skewers, and add shishito, bacon-wrapped enoki, and asparagus skewers; continue to grill until chicken is just cooked through, eggplant and shiitakes are tender, bacon is crisp and browned, and shishitos and asparagus are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes more. In the last minute of cooking, brush chicken, eggplant, and shiitake skewers with soy mixture a few times while flipping repeatedly.
  • Remove skewers from grill. Brush chicken, eggplant, and shiitake skewers with more soy mixture, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Sprinkle shishito, enoki, and asparagus skewers with flaky salt. Serve, with lemon wedges on the side.

CHICKEN WING SKEWERS

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 to 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings (about 12 wings)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white peppercorns
Honey Glaze, recipe follows
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat your grill (propane, charcoal or wood fired) to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the wing tips from the chicken wings and save for another use, or freeze to make a stock. Cut the wings in half at the joint to separate the drums and the flats.
  • Mix the vegetable oil, orange zest, fennel seeds, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Toss the drums and flats in this mixture to coat well.
  • Separate the drums and flats to skewer. First skewer the flats using 2 metal skewers, one on each end of the flat placed lengthwise. You should be able to fit 6 flats per pair of skewers. Now, skewer the drums only with 2 skewers, one on each side of each drum. For even cooking, alternate the placement of the meatier end as you add on each piece. You should be able to fit 6 drums per pair of skewers. After the skewering assembly, you will have a total of 2 lines of flats and 2 lines of drums ready for grilling.
  • Transfer the wings onto the grill over direct heat and grill for 6 minutes per side on medium-high heat. Remember the metal skewers will be hot; use sturdy tea towels or long tongs to help with flipping.
  • Turn the heat down to medium. At this point (the wings will be about three-quarters done), brush the top side of the wings with the Honey Glaze. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, then flip onto the other side and glaze again. Grill for another 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes; the glaze will still be very hot. Serve warm.
  • Put the orange juice, honey and 1/2 cup water in a small pan on medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced to maple syrup consistency, about 8 minutes (the glaze will thicken very slightly as it cools down). Season with salt and set aside.
