Chris Lilly’s Spicy Apricot Wings Marinade
1 cup apricot preserves
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons kosher salt
4 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground ginger
2 ½ pounds of chicken wings
I mixed the marinade ingredients in small bowl and whisked until well blended. The only change I made was to use ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper instead of the 1 teaspoon the original recipe called for. I did this to keep the wife happy. She doesn’t like real hot, and cayenne can get hot. I poured the marinade into my vacuum tumbler and added ten chicken wings. They were tumbled for 20 minutes.

Using my new leg/wing rack, I took the marinated wings and put them on the rack.

Next was onto the grill grate on the PBC. I tried to see if I could hang the rack, but it would not have been the best choice, IMO.

After 50 minutes, I checked the wing temps with my thermometer.

I removed the wing rack from the PBC and brought them into the kitchen for serving.

Would I use this recipe again? Absolutely!! I might try some jalapeno powder instead of the cayenne, next time. These wings were outstanding!!

Very cool!
You should try Adam Perry Lang's recipe. I'm a huge APL fan. Too bad his book Serious Barbecue is out of print and going for as much as $300 per copy. :o It's a great book!

What brand is the wing/leg rack Art? Do you have any additional info about it?

The label lists it as being from Bayou Classic. Go to www.thebayou.com. It holds a dozen legs or wings. If you had two of them, you could probably fit them both on the grill grate under the rebar rods. I paid $9.95 for mine. If I were doing a lot of wings for a crowd, I would probably start them on my MAK and then finish them on the PBC (in batches) or my Weber kettle. The size holds enough for two (not-too-hungry) adults.

I have also found the the Big Easy/SRG basket and leg racks work very well in the PBC ;)

Hey Art!
Would you mind copying this recipe to the Poultry recipes section? It will be easier to find when we go looking for it in the future....And - it looks so darn ood, I think we need it on the site twice! ;D
-
Oh yum they look great! Love wings!

I tested this recipe last year, too. It's really delicious.
Great wings, Art!
-
That's a dynamite recipe but I'm thinking maybe a little bourbon instead of the Worcestershire . . .
