Recipe For Saturday: Hawk Wings

[AvengerRam]

AvengerRam's Hawk Wings

Ingredients:

1 1/2 dozen hawk wings (may substitute chicken for hawk; may also use eagle or falcon)
2 cups BBQ sauce
1/4 cup Rasberry Preserves
1/2 cup tamari soy sauce
1/4 cup red pepper (finely chopped)
1/4 cup sweet onion (finely chopped)
3 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. cayanne pepper
1 tbsp. paprika
1 tbsp. ground ginger
1 tbsp. dried parsley
Tabasco to taste (optional)

Combine all ingredients in large bowl and stir until well combined. Pour over wings in large baking pan (turn wings to ensure all sides coated). Bake at 425 degrees for 30-45 minutes (depending on size) until meat is cooked through. Switch oven to broil setting. Broil 2-3 minutes per side until sauce glazes and skin bubbles (but does not burn). Serve with celery sticks and favorite dipping sauce.

Anyone else have any recipes they'd like to share for Saturday?

Rasberry preserves on wings? That sounds odd to me. How are they?

I'm glad you asked that. They are excellent.

The key to cooking, in my opinion, is to find the right combination of flavors, often in opposing categories. For example, in this recipe, the sweet flavor of the BBQ sauce and the rasberry preserves (I prefer to use the type that has no sugar, by the way, such as Polaner All Fruit - which is sweetened with grape juice), is offset by the soy sauce (salt), garlic (savory) and cayanne pepper (spicy).

Seriously, you should whip up a batch. Its an easy recipe, and it is quite good.

And, ram3057 - your accompanying suggestions sound pretty good to me!

I'm now convinced, Avenger, that you do the English voiceover work for Iron Chef. That sounded like something right off the show.
