Recipe #6 Kern's BBQ Chicken Wings



We usually buy 2 packages of wings from Zehr's or one large package from Costco. We like the the large package for obvious reasons. Split or disjoin the wings into 3 pieces - We usually freeze the tips and use them to make a broth. Put the wings in a stainless bowl and spice them with the following:


  • 2 tablespoons each of Club House Seasoning Salt and Cajun Spice
  • add some Chili Flakes if you like them hot.
  • mix the wings until you have a good even coating and let the wings marinate over night
  • Note: You can adjust the spice for your own taste

Preparing the wings for the BBQ

  • about 1 hour before cooking - whip 3 egg whites in a bowl along with the juice of a 1/2 lemon
  • whip in 1/3 cup cornstarch - the mixture should look like whip cream
  • fold the whipped egg whites and cornstarch into the wings and mix until the wings are evenly coated
  • put the wings in a colander and let them drip off the excess - about 1/2 hr

Cooking

  • fire-up the BBQ - I usually heat it up and clean the grills then I sometimes put a light coat of olive oil on the grates
  • reduce the heat to the lowest setting on your BBQ
  • put the wings on - they stick to the grill like gum to hair - your kids can relate to this
  • cover the BBQ and check back in about 15 minutes - time them
  • the wings will start to cook and when they are right they will release from the grill,
    don't rush them because you will have a big mess
  • If they are cooking too fast open up the lid or raise the grates
  • When both sides of the wings get a crust on the coating they are fine to turn as often as you want
  • the total cooking time is around 1 hour
  • have a few tasters - cooks privilege - but try not to eat them all..

Serving the hungry crowd

  • place the wings on a large platter and watch out for the stampede
  • your wings are going to be the hit at any party


Bon Appetit and Have Fun!
