Smoky, savory, and irresistibly sticky! These Unagi Sesame Wings are the perfect fusion of umami flavors. Marinated overnight in soy, garlic, lime, and green onion, then smoked to perfection, these wings are a standout for any backyard cookout or game day spread.
INGREDIENTS
-
2–2.5 lbs GoodLife Brands chicken wings
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
3 green onion bottoms (white part), minced
-
Zest of 1 lime
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
Extra green onions (for garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, minced green onion bottoms, lime zest, soy sauce, olive oil, and salt. Add the chicken wings and toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
2. Cover the bowl or transfer wings to a sealed container or zip-top bag. Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors deeply penetrate the meat.
3. Preheat your smoker to 250°F–275°F. Place the wings directly on the grates and smoke for 30–40 minutes, checking in periodically to rotate for even cooking. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. Remove wings from the smoker and let rest for a few minutes. Thinly slice the tops of the green onions and sprinkle over the wings before serving.
