Ingredients
- 5 lb frozen chicken wings
- 1 cup Regina® White Wine Vinegar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 can pineapple juice (6-oz)
- 2 tsp Ac’cent Flavor Enhancer
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup beer
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chicken wings and boil for 15 minutes to remove much of the fat. Remove the wings and place in a large mixing bowl. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, pineapple juice, Ac’cent, ketchup, sesame oil, garlic powder and beer and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Allow to boil for 4 minutes. Turn down the heat to low.
- With a ladle, remove 1/2 cup of the sauce and combine with the cornstarch in a separate small bowl. Whisk together to create a slurry and then whisk back into the saucepan. Heat for another 3 minutes until thickened and then remove from the heat. Allow to cool slightly and thicken.
- Pour half of the sauce over the wings and toss. Preheat the broiler and place the sauced wings on a sheet pan about 2 inches from the broiler. Broil for 8 minutes and then with tongs, flip over and broil for another 8 minutes, until golden brown.
- Baste again with remaining sauce before serving and sprinkle with sesame seeds. You can use any of the leftover sauce for dipping.
