Chicken Wings with Tzatziki

Chicken wings cooked on the @kamadojoeuk Classic II. Seasoned with Angus & Oink Porky White Chick. Paired with @BrazenChili No 28 hot sauce and a nice refreshing tzatziki. Tzatziki works really well with spicy wings as it counteracts/compliments the spice from the hot sauce.

Ingredients (For the Wings)

  • 2kg Wings
  • Angus & Oink Porky White Chick
  • Sauce of your choice (I used @BrazenChili No 28)

Ingredients (For the Tzatziki)

  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 200g Greek yogurt
  • 1 large clove of garlic finely chopped/minced
  • 1 handful of finely chopped mint leaves
  • Pinch of salt
  • Juice of half a lime

Gear Used & General Cook Notes

  • Kamado Joe Classic II
  • Cooked direct at anywhere between 200 & 250 degrees celsius
  • High heat gloves are useful for this cook
  • Thermapen

Method

Take your wings out of the fridge and allow to come up to room temperature. Liberally coat with Angus & Oink Porky White Chick (or any dry rub of your choice). Setup your BBQ for direct cooking (no heat deflectors). Once the grill hits between 200 & 250c (400 – 480F) , put the wings on, ensuring they are spread evenly. Take a look at your fire as you will usually have a zone that is hotter than everywhere else. Leave the wings or about 5-10 mins and then start flipping with a tongs. You will likely need to rotate them in and out of the hot zone on the grill to ensure they don’t burn. We like a nice char on wings in our house, but not every one does so rotating them around the grill surface can help avoid too much charring.

After about 10-15 mins start checking for temperature with an instant read thermometer. Chicken is cooked at 75c (170F) but i like to let wings cook to at least 80c (178F). Once cooked, take them off and let rest for a few mins.

For the Tzatziki, cut the cucumber in half and scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon. Coarsely grate it, and squeeze out the liquid using paper towels. Add to a bowl with the yogurt, garlic, mint, salt and mix well.

Optional: Squeeze in about half a lime to add a little kick

Enjoy 🙂
