Rotisserie-Style Chicken Wings with Spicy Fig Jam
This is one of my all-time favorite wing recipes. The crispy skin provided by rotisserie-style cooking, paired with the unique flavor of the spicy fig jam sauce, makes this a truly delicious combination.
Equipment
- grill or smoker
- Rotisserie attachment
- instant read thermometer
- Sauce Pan
- tongs
- Cleaver or Chef's Knife
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken wings
- ΒΌ C Olive oil + more as needed
- BBQ Rub as needed
- 2 teaspoon corn starch
- 4 T unsalted butter
- 1 C fig jam
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili crunch sauce
Instructions
For the Firecracker Sauce:
- Combine the butter and three ingredients in a skillet over medium-high heat. Allow the mixture to cook, mixing as needed, until it reaches a spoon-thick consistency. Adjust seasonings to taste, then set aside until ready to use.
For the Wings:
- Preheat the grill to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, slather wings with olive oil and coat them with your BBQ rub of choice and corn starch, tossing until well covered.
- Once the grill is preheated, place the wings on the grates (or rotisserie basket as you see here) and cook until the skin begins to brown and crisp, flipping as needed. Once this occurs, remove the wings from the grill and ensure they hit an internal temperature of at least 165, but the 180s seem to be a sweet spot for me). Note: No flipping is necessary if you are using a rotisserie basket.
To Finish:
- Plate the wings with a side of the prepared sauce. Serve and enjoy!
