Steady medium heat is best for grilling wings; they need time for the fat to render and the skin to crisp.

Ingredients

4 Servings

Vinaigrette

1

large shallot, finely chopped

1

cup fresh lime juice

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

½

cup toasted sesame oil

½

cup vegetable oil

¼

cup soy sauce

2

tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Chicken and Assembly

3

pounds chicken wings, flats and drumettes separated if desired

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

cups shishito peppers

2

tablespoons vegetable oil

1

red jalapeño or Fresno chile, thinly sliced

cups mixed tender herbs (such as mint, cilantro, and/or basil)

Preparation

  1. Vinaigrette

    Step 1

    Combine shallot and lime juice in a large jar or medium bowl; season with salt and pepper and let sit 10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add sesame oil, vegetable oil, soy sauce, and honey to shallot mixture; cover and shake (or whisk) to combine. Season sesame-lime vinaigrette with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Do Ahead: Vinaigrette can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Shake to reincorporate just before serving.

  2. Chicken and Assembly

    Step 4

    Season chicken wings with salt and black pepper, place in a large resealable plastic bag, and add 1 cup vinaigrette. Seal bag and turn to coat; chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.

    Step 5

    Prepare a grill for medium heat. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until wings are evenly charred and cooked through, 8–10 minutes if separated, 12–15 minutes if left whole. Transfer to a platter.

    Step 6

    Meanwhile, toss shishito peppers and oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred in spots and blistered, about 3 minutes. Transfer to platter with wings.

    Step 7

    Scatter jalapeño and herbs over wings and shishito peppers. Drizzle with ¼ cup vinaigrette (an unbeatable basic dressing; use leftovers on a rice bowl or in a crunchy carrot salad).

  • These are great. But like others, I found the marinade to be too oily. I knocked it down this time, and they were amazing!!

  • Knucklehead too oily... if its 2 to 1 acid to fat, my guess is you didn't add enough acid... this is right on!

  • This was the hit of the party! I followed the recipe but cooked the wings on an open wood fire which added a light smokey flavor and really crisped up the skin. Will be making this dish again!!!

  • I did it a little different, starting with not paying attention. I put all the vinaigrette on the chicken, because I didn't pay close enough attention to your recipe. So after marinating the chicken I put the vinaigrette in a sauce pan to cook down. I also added a little more honey and also added some Sambal. Just for a little spice. I reduced it some, not to a thick syrup though. I loved it.

  • Marinade wasn't flavorful at all and far too oily. Just bland and lacking all around.
