Revamp Your Barbecue. Why chicken wings deserve a spot on your grill

Planning a barbecue menu and looking for interesting inspirations? I have a brilliant solution that has never let me down and will surely work for you, too!

In my opinion, chicken wings are an essential addition. Not only do they taste great, but they're also a joy to work with. Plus, you don't need complicated and expensive ingredients to create something amazing. A quick and simple marinade can work wonders. Below is such a culinary gem. So, let's dive in!

Ingredients:

• about 800 grams of chicken wings,
• 80 grams of butter,
• 3 tablespoons of brown sugar,
• 2 tablespoons of maple syrup,
• 2 cloves of garlic,
• about 200 grams of tomato passata,
• 1 tablespoon of granulated onion,
• 2 tablespoons of dried marjoram,
• 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika,
• 1 teaspoon of salt.

How to prepare:

Step 1. Start with the marinade for the chicken wings. Combine butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup in a pot on the stove. 

Step 2. After the butter has melted and formed a uniform mixture, add tomato passata, peeled and pressed garlic cloves, and spices: granulated onion, dried marjoram, sweet paprika, and salt. Mix thoroughly with a kitchen whisk.

Step 3. Place cleaned and dried chicken wings into a large bowl. Then, pour the marinade over them. Mix well using two spoons, ensuring the marinade evenly coats the wings.

Cover the marinated wings with cling film and leave in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Step 4. After 2 hours, place the wings on a preheated grill. Cook each side for 10 minutes or until each piece is golden brown. 

Step 5. Serve the grilled chicken wings with fresh flat-leaf parsley. They pair well with various sauces and dips. A light and colourful salad makes an ideal complement. And there you have it, enjoy your meal!
