Notes
Chef Notes:
My general rule of thumb for all marinades is over night to infuse as much flavor as possible. If you have the time to do it, then do it!
When using soy, food items and caramelize quicker than normal which means it can have a tendency to burn. Lower temperature will give you dark grill marks without charring anything.
If the flavor of the sauce is to intense add in a little soy sauce and water to help break it up a little bit.
The wings should have dark grill marks when flipping over.
Another simple way to tell if the chicken wings are cooked is by simply slicing into the middle and ensuring all of the meat is white without any pink.
