Chicken Wings 2 ways-BBQ and Sweet Jalapeno Blackberry

[wutang]

I made some chix wings to take to a friends house for the 4th. I made two kinds. I brined the wings pieces in a pretty normal brine.

Here they are out of the brine, rinsed, and dried. The ones on the left got dusted with my normal bbq rub. The ones on the right I seasoned with garlic salt and "Hot Shot" (a store bought blend of black and red pepper


Here is a pic after about an hour on the drum. The bbq ones are in the back and there are a couple dozen abts across the middle.


Abts are done


I made a glaze by simmering some onion, garlic and adding about 1/2 cup of homemade jalapeno jelly my wife got from a friend at work along with a Sam Adams Blackberry Beer. (Bbqgoddess would be proud)


Here it is after simmering until nice and thick-the jalapeno jelly turned it bright green. But the wings did not turn green. Thank goodness


When the wings were almost done I glazed them. I used a store bought bbq sauce on the other wings. Here they are all done. The bbq on the right and the jalapeno/blackberry on the left

They were very good and the jal/blackberry ones disappeared fast. The jalapeno jelly is pretty sweet but with good flavor. Next time I will add some cayenne to the glaze for some heat.

MAN, those look good!!

I'm not used to seeing jalapeno and blackberry in the same list of glaze ingredients, but they sure look good. Sounds like they were a hit.

Adam!
Great glaze, I love it! I just tried that Sam Adams blackberry, pretty good stuff. Using the jap jelly was brilliant, those wings look amazing! Damn I wish you lived closer!

[Abelman]

Adam, big on both the wings. Excellent job

[wutang]

Thanks Kelly, Ry and Pete. I will definately use this again, maybe just tweak the recipe a little. The only thing I will have to do different is maybe make the sauce outside, my wife was complaining that the kitchen had the "warm beer" smell after the sauce had simmered a while. I didn't think it was that bad but she is pregnant so her sniffer is sensitive.
