Char Siu Chicken....Failure
2 Attachment(s)
Just posting this in the interest of full disclosure. Maybe someone can learn something from it.
I did some Char Siu pork a couple of days ago. It turned out so well that I decided to see how well the taste would transfer to chicken wings. At the time of the first picture, everything seemed to be progressing just fine. Somewhere along the way, I let it get away from me; and the second picture is the pitiful result. I think it would have been pretty good if I had pulled it earlier. I will definitely try it again. On the next attempt, I will either pull it earlier; or I will cook it on the Traeger which has a "softer" heat than the WGA. |
I think we've all done this, and there is a common reason....

One thing that is definitely against you in using Char Siu sauce on chicken is all the sugar contained in the marinade and sauce. To get a crisp skin I'm afraid the wings will always turn out like this or at least very dark. High temp and sugar are not a good mix unless your making candy.

+1 on pulling it sooner!
Too bad about the Phailure! I would've used less Phuel in the WGA. |
Looks like ya got the char part right. :mrgreen:
Maybe try tossing the chicken in a light sauce after its cooked? |
Well, I, for one, have NEVER farked up a cook. Not me. Unh uh. No way.
Not since the last time anyway... |
If you have never farked up, then you aren't cooking enough.

agree with phubar, looks like a lot of fuel being used. knock that down by half.
|
It will make a turd!
|
Thanks for the comments, guys. I will definitely take some of the suggestions; and keep trying until I get it right. The taste of the sauce is just too good to give up on it this easily.
|
I agree with Phubar.. The king of WGA! :thumb: But only a failure if you couldn't eat them!
