Wing Things

The super bowl is coming soon! The posse is coming over to watch the game and what are you going to serve? Are you going to a Super Bowl Tailgate Party and need something quick and easy?

How about doing wing? They are simple, easy and not too expensive.

Simple Sweet & Tangy Wings
ingredients
3.5 pound chicken wings (about 25) tips removed
1/4 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (to taste)

Preparation
1. Mix everything except wings in a bowl. Reserving 1/4 cup
2. Add wings and toss to coat well, leave sit 15 to 20 minutes
3. Grill over a medium low 2 zone fire, covered 25 - 30 minutes turning every so often. If wings appear to be over cooking (read burning) move to cool side of the fire.
4. Baste with reserved marinade during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Note: If you don't have a grill, you may cook these in your broiler.

Grill temperatures can be judged by holding your hand about 2 inches about the grill grate.

* Very hot: You can hold your hand at grill level only 1 to 2 seconds.
* Hot: You can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds.
* Medium-hot: You can hold your hand at grill level only 3 to 4 seconds.
* Medium: You can hold your hand at grill level only 4 to 5 seconds.
* Medium-low: You can hold your hand at grill level only 5 to 6 seconds.
* Low: You can hold your hand at grill level only 6 to 7 seconds.
