Cooking for 6 people
Ingredients
- 8 lb.
turkey wings
Marinade
- 3
oranges, juiced
- 8 leaves
culantro (generally found at international food stores; if unavailable, substitute for equal parts cilantro) finely chopped
- 8 leaves
cilantro finely chopped
- 1 inch
ginger peeled and grated
- 6 cloves
garlic peeled and grated
- 1
small onion finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp.
salt
- 1/2 tsp.
pepper
1Food Prep
First, mix all the marinade ingredients together, except the juice from the oranges.
Then, cut 3 slits across the outer edge of each wing, scoring the skin so the seasonings can reach the meat. Then, place the wings in a large mixing bowl.
Next, squeeze the juice from the oranges directly over the turkey wings in the bowl, and allow them to sit in the juice. Then, sprinkle the rest of the marinade ingredients over the turkey wings, and toss the wings in the marinade until evenly coated.
Finally, refrigerate the wings and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford™ Charcoal with Hickory for its savory and smoky wood flavor.
Method: Two-Zone Method
Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)
3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place the wings on the cooler side of the grate, and cook until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F on a digital meat thermometer, about 40 minutes.
Before removing the wings from the grill, place them directly over the coals for 3–5 minutes to allow the skin to get crispy, flipping them for even crisping.
Serve warm and enjoy.
