Hot Pepper Wings with
Cilantro Sour Cream

Makes 6
servings
“What started out as one of our
favorite employee meals is now one of the
most popular Palace Kitchen
appetizers. At Palace we grill these chicken
wings over
an apple-wood fire,
but you can either grill or broil them. These
spicy tidbits seem
to cry out
for a cold beer, maybe a hearty Hefe-Weizen
from Redhook Brewery
right here
in Seattle.
What really makes these wings is their time in the marinade. You need to
marinate them at least a day ahead, and two days is even better than one,
so
plan accordingly.”
2 cups soy sauce
1 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup water
3/4 cup Tabasco sauce
1/4 cup chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
18 chicken wings
Cilantro Sour Cream (recipe follows)
1. Whisk the soy sauce, mustard, water, Tabasco, garlic and
herbs together
in a large bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade to be used for
basting
and sauce. Add the chicken wings to the remaining marinade, coat
them
well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Turn the
wings occasionally to make sure they all well marinated.
2. Fire up your grill or preheat your broiler. Remove the
chicken wings
from the marinade, then discard the marinade. If grilling,
grill the
wings over medium-low coals, turning often, until cooked through,
about 15 minutes. You want the wings to cook slowly, cooking
thoroughly
before the glaze burns. If broiling, place the wings in
a
broiling pan and
broil 4 inches from
the heat source, 10 minutes
per side. If your broiler
has a low setting, use that; otherwise,
watch carefully so the glaze doesn’t burn. While grilling or broiling,
heat the reserved marinade in a saucepan
and use some of it to
baste the wings a few times while cooking. Cut into
one of the
wings to
make sure no pink remains near the bone and serve.
On the plate – Spoon the cilantro sour cream on 6 appetizer
plates.
Pile 3 wings on each plate and drizzle with a teaspoon of the warm
reserved marinade. Don’t use more than a drizzle, though – it’s really
strong. Serve whatever is left of the reserved marinade on the side
for heat
lovers.
A step
ahead – You can make the marinade a few days ahead.
It will keep,
covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Cilantro Sour Cream
“You can
also use this flavorful sour cream in burritos or on tacos…
The
chicken
wings are quite salty and hot, so we don’t add salt or
pepper here.
For
other dishes add salt and pepper to taste.
Makes 1/2 cup
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons chopped cilantro
Kosher salt and freshly ground
black pepper to taste
(optional)
In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, heavy cream,
and chopped cilantro. If not using with Hot Pepper Wings,
taste for salt and
pepper.
