Grilled Wings with Berry Balsamic BBQ Sauce

June 1, 2014 by Angela LeMoine 2 Comments

Since we’ve been staying with my parents I am addicted to grilling! They have the grill conveniently hooked up to the house so no worries of ever ending up with an empty tank of propane. These Grilled Wings with Berry Balsamic BBQ Sauce sort of came about on accident. I’m pretty sure my mom didn’t realize that she had bought a few packages of wingettes and drumettes for our bbq night  rather then the full sized versions. When I opened them up I figured why not still go ahead and grill them up! I love the smokey flavor the grill gives the chicken and then its all coated in a sweet fruit based bbq sauce… so good! 

The wings took about 15-18 minutes to cook through on the grill and it works out perfectly because the sauce only needs to simmer for about 20 minutes so that means these come together nice and quick perfect for a weeknight meal or snack. I love making my own BBQ sauces, you can make so many different varieties by just changing up a few ingredients.

Heres where this sauce gets interesting, it starts with 2 cups of ripe berries {a mix of raspberries, strawberries and blackberries} and some balsamic vinegar. The fruit is obviously the sweet element and the vinegar the acidity. To balance it all out and what turns it into bbq sauce is some brown sugar, ketchup, garlic powder, salt, pepper and a little water. All mixed together in a pot and simmered until slightly reduced. At the very end I use an immersion blender to smooth it all out. Once the wings come off the grill they re tossed right in with the sauce.

Grilled Wings with Berry Balsamic BBQ Sauce
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups mixed berries, rough chop {I used strawberries, blackberries & raspberries}
  • ¼ balsamic vinegar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 3 lbs wingettes & drumettes
Instructions
  1. Mix the fruit, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, water, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a saucepan over medium low heat. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using an immersion or hand blender smooth out the bbq sauce. Season again with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. For the wings. I always toss my wings in salt and pepper to make sure that the chicken itself is seasoned. Place onto a hot grill and cook for about 15-18 mins or until cooked through {the cooking time may vary depending on your grill}.
  3. After the wings are cooked go ahead and toss in a large bowl with just enough of the sauce to coat the wings,
