Garlic Rhubarb Wings

Ingredients for the Wings

• 1.8 lbs chicken wings
• 2 tbsp smashed and finely chopped garlic
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1 tsp hot sauce (tweak to your taste)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp coconut oil (you can substitute with another oil of your choice)
• 3 tbsp finely chopped rhubarb
• 3 tbsp rhubarb syrup (from cooking rhubarb in simple syrup, or just use 1 tbsp brown sugar, honey, or agave nectar)
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp fresh ground pepper

Ingredients for the Sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp water
• ½ tbsp lemon juice
• 3 ½ tbsp chopped rhubarb
• 4 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 3 tsp whole milk
• 1 tsp cornstarch mixed in 3 tsp water

Preparation for the Wings

1. In a big bowl, mix all the ingredients except for the wings. Taste and add more salt, pepper and hot sauce as you wish until you are satisfied with it.
2. Toss the chicken wings in the big bowl, cover and let it sit in the fridge for 15 minutes as you pre-heat the oven to 425°F with the tray on the upper third portion.
3. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleaning later on.
4. Once your oven is preheated, place the chicken wings on the lined cookie sheet, but keep the remaining mixture in the bowl. Bake for 20 minutes. Make the sauce.
5. Take the cookie sheet out of the oven and turn the wings over using a pair of tongs. Using a spoon or a brush, put on the remaining mixture on the wings. Bake for another 13 to 18 minutes depending on how ‘dry’ you want the wings to be. 13 minutes is best if you want a lot more juicy meat to eat with rice, for example. 18 minutes would make it really nice and brown.
6. Take out of the oven, turn the wings to prevent the top from drying up, and let it cool for 5 minutes before transferring on your serving plate. Enjoy!

Sauce:

1. In small saucepan, heat water and sugar in low-med heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. There’s no need to stir.
2. Add lemon juice and chopped rhubarb and cook until rhubarb softens. With a heat-safe spatula, press the rhubarb against the bottom of the pan until you get a paste.
3. Add the soy sauce, ketchup, honey, milk, salt and pepper. Let it simmer for a five minutes and turn off the heat. Stirring the cornstarch-water mixture to make sure the cornstarch hasn’t settled at the bottom of your small bowl, pour to the hot sauce and stir. You can keep it on the stove (turned off) while the wings are cooking.
4. Serve with the wings.

Hope you enjoy these recipe and that you have a great Super Bowl Sunday – I will very much appreciate your comments or suggestions and if you would like to send in your recipes with your photos, I would most welcomed them!
