Usually I have chopped garlic as a main ingredient in my Piri Piri wings. I had a friend coming over who can't eat garlic but can tolerate garlic infusions in oil. What to do, what to do? I had the same problem with my Salt and Pepper Wings that I toss in chopped garlic after cooking. I decided I could handle it and went to work. This post is how I did the Piri Piri wings, I will do the Salt and Pepper Wings in my next post.

The first thing I did was make a garlic oil infusion. I put 8 cloves of crushed garlic in 125 ml (1/2 cup) olive oil. I heated it over medium heat until the garlic just started to get golden and then added 2 ml (1/2 teaspoon) of chili flakes and heated for 1 more minute. I strained the oil off and let it cool.

When it came time to do the wings, I mixed 25 ml (2 tablespoons) of the garlic oil, 40 ml (2 1/2 tablespoons) lemon juice, 5 ml (1 teaspoon) paprika, 1 ml (1/4 teaspoon) cayenne, 1 ml (1/4 teaspoon) fine ground pepper.

I injected 12 wing segments with the mixture in a bowl so any marinade that leaked out would go in the bowl.


I put the rest of the marinade in a bowl and tossed to mix.


I let them marinate in the fridge for 2 hours, tossing occasionally.

I put them in the pellet grill at 350 F. I turned the wings after 25 minutes.


I cooked for 25 minutes longer and served.


The Verdict

These were actually better than my regular Piri Piri Wings. The garlic was just an undernote and I had upped the lemon for a nice twang. I loved these and the guests made them disappear quickly!

Great looking wings Disco! I may have to try the injected oil infusion!
Thanks, Case. The injecting did kick up the flavour.
 
Looks good Disco!

Those are some tasty looking wings!

Was the skin crispy at that temp?

Al
Thanks, Al. The skin wasn't potato chip crispy which I have done for friends but it is bite through and not leathery. There is just a touch of crisp. Just the way we like them.
 
Nice wings Disco!! Hmmm....might have to try making mine like that next time, but the family is hooked on the scarbelly wings.

Points!!
