Wah Gwan® Grilled Chicken Wings:

Flavor, Technique, and Fire

At Wah Gwan®, we’re always pushing flavor forward—but this time, we’re also turning up the presentation. Introducing: Frenched Wah Gwan® Seasoned Grilled Chicken Wings. These elevated “lollipop” wings are perfect for your next cookout, tailgate, or dinner party. Whether you're flexing your grill skills or just looking to wow your guests, this dish delivers on taste, texture, and visual impact.

Let’s get into it.

🌶️ What Makes These Wings Special?

The magic starts with Frenching—a technique traditionally reserved for fine dining meats like lamb chops. Here, we apply it to chicken drumettes, trimming the meat down the bone to create a handheld “lollipop” that cooks evenly, looks elegant, and makes dipping a joy.

Then comes the flavor. We season these wings with a bold combo of:

• Wah Gwan® All-Purpose Seasoning

• Wah Gwan® Dry Brine

• Wah Gwan® Scotch Bonnet Powder

All three blends layer in deep flavor, natural heat, and a savory backbone without additives, MSG, or fillers. Just pure, punchy flavor—our signature.

🍗 The Full Recipe

Servings: 4–6

Prep Time: 60 mins

Cook Time: 20–25 mins

Total Time: 90 mins

Ingredients:

• 2.5 lbs chicken wings (drumettes or split wings)

• 2–4 tbsp Wah Gwan® All-Purpose Seasoning

• 2 tbsp Wah Gwan® Dry Brine

• 1 tsp Wah Gwan® Scotch Bonnet Powder

• 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil

• Juice of ½ lime

• 3 oz Amaretto liquor

• 3 oz water

• Chopped parsley or scallions (garnish)

• Grilled lime halves (optional, for serving)

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. French the Wings

Using a sharp paring knife, make a circular cut around the thin end of each drumette. Slice through the skin and tendons, then push the meat toward the thick end to form a lollipop shape. Clean off any loose tendons or cartilage.

✨ Pro Tip: This step is optional but makes a huge impact in both presentation and ease of eating.

2. Season & Marinate

Toss the wings with Wah Gwan® All-Purpose Seasoning, Dry Brine, Scotch Bonnet Powder, oil, and lime juice. Mix well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably 4 hours or overnight for deep flavor penetration.

3. Fire Up the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high (around 400°F). Oil the grates lightly.

4. Grill the Wings

Place the wings on the grill and cook for 5–6 minutes per side. Once you’ve developed a nice char, start spritzing the wings with the Amaretto + Water mix. This adds a subtle sweetness, encourages caramelization, and keeps the wings moist.

If needed, shift wings to indirect heat to avoid burning. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

5. Finish & Serve

Squeeze grilled lime over the top, sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve with your favorite dipping sauces: Buffalo, Ranch, or Bleu Cheese.
