For the 4th BBQ, we made these with wings instead of breasts (about 2.5 pounds separated into wings and 'drummies' with the tips removed).
Delicious! Sweet, with good sesame highlights. Made a double batch to do a single "flat" of wings. They also reheat VERY well!
I added about 1 T of sesame oil to the batch of sauce, to increase the sesame flavor. I also doubled the garlic, crushing the cloves first and then mincing them.
I also dusted the wings lightly with granulated garlic, and 5-spice powder when I laid them out on the grill, and grilled them 'dry' for a couple minutes before basting liberally with the sesame sauce.
This is a delightful variation from my more usual teriyaki type sesame wings. Despite the hosin and plum sauce, it wasn't quite as sweet as the teriyaki, but had very pronounced flavors.
Will be making these again!
