Sounds like the cookbook needs to go to press soon.
CHICKEN WINGS, NUCLEAR STYLE
Ingredients:
16 whole chicken wings (about 3 1/2 pounds)
3 large shallots, peeled
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 piece (1 inch) fresh ginger
12 Thai, serrano, or small jalapeno chiles, seeded
(for hotter wings, leave the seeds in)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
or 1 tablespoon each regular soy sauce and molasses
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
Rinse the wings under cold running water, then drain and blot dry wings
on paper towels. Make 2 or 3 deep slashes, to the bone, in the meaty
part of each wing. Place in a large bowl and refrigerate while you
prepare the spice paste.
Combine the shallots, garlic, and chiles in a food processor and process
to a smooth paste. Add 1/4 cup of the oil, the soy sauces, and
five-spice powder and process until smooth.
Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a wok or small, heavy skillet over
medium heat. Add the spice paste and cook, stirring constantly, until
thick, brown, and very flavorful, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and
let cool completely.
Add the cooked spice paste to the chicken and turn the wings to coat
thoroughly. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for at least 6
hours or as long as 24 (the longer the better).
Preheat the grill to medium-high. When ready to cook, oil the grill
grate. Arrange the wings on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs,
until the thicker wings sections are no longer pink near the bone, 12 to
16 minutes.
Makes 16 whole wings; serves 4 to 8 as an appetizer. If your lips feel
white-hot and then go numb, the wings are hot enough. Both forehead
sweat and swollen tongue are optional. Have plenty of ice cold beer
handy to put out the flames.
