Hot Blackberry BBQ Chicken Wings Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 ounces fresh blackberries
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 0.25 cup water
• 3 medium fresh jalapeno peppers, sliced
• 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
• 2 medium limes, juiced
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate.
2. In a saucepan, combine blackberries, ketchup, 1/4 cup water, jalapenos, vinegar, honey, garlic, and liquid smoke. Add lime juice and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. In a separate cup, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water. Stir this mixture into the blackberry sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens and becomes syrupy, approximately 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
5. Place the wings on the preheated grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked, which should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
6. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a container. Use a spoon to press the solids and extract all the remaining sauce.
7. Transfer the grilled wings to a large, clean bowl. Pour the hot blackberry BBQ sauce over the wings and toss until they are completely coated. Serve immediately and enjoy!
