Method

Combine the first 10 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine well, then divide into two ziplock bags. Refrigerate and marinate overnight. The next day, preheat a gas grill to HIGH heat. Drain the chicken drummets in a colander, then lightly coat with some olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and grill the drummets, turning often for 6-7 minutes until firm and cooked through. While chicken cooks, stir remaining ingredients together. Serve drummets stacked on top of one another on a medium serving platter. Serve with the smoked paprika dipping sauce.

 

Notes: This recipe is basically hot wings for adults. The store-bought hot wings are marinated overnight. The marinade gives the already-spicey flavor an earthy sophistication from the wine and additional ingredients. Smoked paprika is used here. If it is not available in your area, regular will do fine.

Number of Servings: serves 5-6
