Orange Marmalade Sriracha Wings

Inspiration: The Virtual Weber Bullet
Prep time:10 minutes
Cook Time: about an hour

Description:  These wings provide a nice combination of spicy and sweet.  Because the glaze is so flavorful, there is no need to marinate the wings.  It is a perfect party food or when you want to indulge that craving for wings.



Ingredients
1 5lb bag of wings
S&P
1 18 oz jar Orange Marmalade
1/3 cup - honey
1/3 cup - brown sugar
1/3 cup - Sriracha Sauce
2 Tbsp lemon juice (optional- I use the lemon to cut the sweetness of the brown sugar and honey and it provides a more complex flavor)

Directions:
1. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken wings.
2. Combine marmalade, honey, brown sugar, Sriracha Sauce in a heavy sauce pan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a boil and  stir constantly to dissolve the sugar. 
3. Add lemon juice, if desired remove from heat.
4. Grill wings indirect at 350º for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Dip the wings in the sauce, then place back on the grill and continue to cook 10 minutes. Repeat this process one or two more times. When you're done,you should have a 'candy like' glaze.
6. Use the leftover glaze as a dipping sauce.


Tips and Tricks
Agave Nectar can replace the brown sugar and is a good substitute for diabetics who cannot have sugar
If using as a dipping sauce, serve the sauce hot or it will congeal.
This glaze can be used on other grilled meats such as chicken, pork chops, ribs and meatballs.

Variations
Alternate Glaze Technique- Grill the wings as above for an hour or until golden brown but do not glaze. Remove wings from heat. Place glaze in nonreactive bowl and add wings. Toss the wings until thoroughly covered with the glaze. Remove wings and place in serving container. Place excess glaze in a smaller container and use as a dipping sauce.
You can use different flavor marmalades and jams to slightly alter the flavor of the glaze.  You can use cherry, blueberry, peach, etc.
