Plenty of napkins for sticky fingers are needed for our BBQ Hoisin Breaded Wings with Pickled Watermelon recipe. Tyson® Wing Stingers® Breaded Chicken Wings are tossed in a sweet hoisin sauce with fresh garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and then delightfully caramelized under high heat. The pickled watermelon adds a lighter bite as a great palate cleanser.

Pickled Watermelon

AMOUNTMAIN INGREDIENTS
6 CupsApple Cider Vinegar
1 CupGranulated Sugar
3 Oz.Fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 Oz.Fresh Thyme
48 Oz.Watermelon
Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F.

Step 2: Combine the hoisin sauce, teriyaki sauce, garlic, fresh ginger and chili crisp oil in a bowl.

Step 3: Toss the Tyson® Wing Stingers® Breaded Chicken Wings into the sauce and place in the oven. Reserve sauce.

Step 4: In 10-minute intervals, baste the wings with the reserved sauce until a thick lacquer has been layered onto the wings. This will allow it to coat and caramelize under the high heat to become crispy.

Chef’s Notes:

The watermelon is a fresh replacement to help balance the intense flavor with something a little acidic to cleanse the palate between wings. I usually add a little bit of ice and place in a refrigerator to cool down the mixture.
