Chicken wings


 Dinner tonight was chicken wings and honey dew melon with rice. 


The wings were steamed for 10 minutes, then baked on a rack in a rimmed cooking sheet for 20 minutes @ 425º, turned once half way through.  Then they were tossed in three different sauces. One was a store bought wing sauce with melted butter added,  One was Charlie's mom's recipe for teriyaki sauce with butter added and one was lemon pepper sauce.

The store sauce was Johnny's Tavern Wing sauce, about 2 parts sauce with 1 part butter. 


Charlie's mom's recipe is 

Jung’s Teriyaki sauce

1 C. soy sauce

1/2 C. water

1/4 to 1/2 to 2/3 C. sugar ( restaurant uses a lot of sugar. Mom recommends 1/2 C.)

1/4 to 1/2 pineapple concentrate

1 tsp. ginger.


Mix and boil. I didn't have any pineapple concentrate and actually never heard of it before and it doesn't really say how much. I did have some pineapple chunks in the refrigerator and mashed a 1x1x6-inch stick of one of those up and added that to the sauce as it cooked.


The Lemon-Pepper sauce was 

1/2 C. butter

4 cloves garlic, smashed and worked into a pulp with some kosher salt

zest of 2 lemons

1 tsp. lemon pepper

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

salt to taste


To make it into wing sauce, I melted half a stick of butter into the sauce.
