Ingredients
chicken wings
2 lbs (cut into drumettes and flats)
white wine
3 tablespoons (none)
fresh gingerroot
1 tablespoon (grated)
hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons (none)
soy sauce

Instructions
1
Begin by preparing the chicken wings: using a sharp knife or poultry shears, cut the wings into three sections (drumette, flat, and tip) and discard the tips.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine white wine, grated fresh gingerroot, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and crushed garlic cloves, mixing them thoroughly to create a marinade.
3
Submerge the cut chicken wings into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid.
4
Place the marinating chicken wings in the refrigerator for a minimum of one hour. Every 15 minutes, gently toss or stir the wings to ensure even coating and absorption of the marinade.
5
Prepare the grill by preheating it to a high heat setting. Once hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
6
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drain off. Discard any remaining marinade.
7
Place the marinated wings on the hot grill, arranging them in a single layer. Cook them for 25-30 minutes, turning the wings occasionally to ensure even cooking and achieving a crispy texture.
8
Once the wings are fully cooked and have reached a golden-brown color, remove them from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
