Coconut Chicken Wings
Ingredients
3 Tbs. vegetable or light olive oil
2 Tbs. Kikkoman gluten free soy sauce
2 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. mild curry powder
Coarse salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
1 c. Unsweetened coconut milk
3 lbs. chicken wings
1 c. sweetened, flaked coconut
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together the first six ingredients, then whisk in the coconut milk. Divide the marinade evenly into 2 containers and refrigerate. Cut off the tips of the wings and discard. Halve the wings at the joint before placing them in a bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least an hour, but preferably overnight. Just before grilling the wings, toast the coconut in a medium-size skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Pour the flakes onto a plate and allow them to cool, then lightly crumble the flakes with your fingers and set them aside. Prepare the grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Grill the wings 8 to 10 minutes per side, turning once, or until the meat is no longer pink inside. Use one container of the reserved marinade to baste the meat at each turn. While the wings are cooking, warm the other container of reserved marinade in a small saucepan until heated through.
Transfer the cooked wings to a platter and coat them with the warmed marinade. Sprinkle the wings with the toasted coconut and serve immediately. (Serves: 6)
