Chicken Wings in Sweet and Sour BBQ Sauce on a BBQ Plank

 

Cooking on wood is great for making your food moist and tender but another great reason is that the wood puts a natural barrier between your food and the grill so it is really hard to burn your food or for food to fall through the gaps or for flare ups.

 

As one of our customer's said " cooking on wood makes a BBQ God out of any man'  (or woman!), simply because it makes BBQing so easy and you don't burn your food.

 

Chicken Wings are a great example of this, they can so easily get burned on a BBQ, the skin gets stuck to the grill, the sauce gets all over the grill (not fun to clean) and so on.  So, please enjoy our no hassle and great tasting Chicken Wing recipe .

 

Any of the woods can be used for this recipe, but my favourite is Beech as it adds a sweet beechy flavour. Just be careful of the Cedar BBQ Plank as the strong spicy sweet flavour is not to everyone's taste.

 

 

Ingredients
1 kilo chicken wings 1 cup The Roasting Plank Sweet and Sour Sauce     serves 4

1. Place your chicken wings in a large bowl and toss them with The Roasting Plank Sweet and Sour Sauce. Leave to marinate for a couple of hours or overnight in the fridge if you want.

 

2. Preheat your BBQ to a medium heat and put your chicken wings, evenly spaced, onto your pre-soaked BBQ Plank and put onto the grill. BBQ for about 20-25 minutes or until they are fully cooked.

 

Enjoy you moist, tender and sweet and sour Chicken Wings but don't forget the paper towels....they will be sticky.

BBQ Stuffed Mushrooms Steamed on BBQ Plank

Stuffed Mushrooms Steamed on a BBQ Plank

Cooking mushrooms steamed on wood is simply, in my opinion, the best way to eat mushrooms. They absorb the moisture from the wood incredible well, as well as the different flavours of the wood, to make them very moist, tender and tasty but not mushy or slimy.

Even cooking mushrooms simply ( BBQ or in the oven) with a drizzle of olive oil and some salt and pepper, you can enjoy the amazing flavour and texture of mushrooms. I am really looking forward to trying lots of different mushrooms, with their differing flavours and textures, on wood. I'll keep you posted.

Any of the woods can be used for cooking mushrooms such as Oak, Beech and Cherry but, as always, take care with the Cedar because it is very sweet and spicy and the flavour can be too over powering for some. Just a matter of taste.

Ingredients

2 large plate mushrooms, stems removed 3 finely chopped spring onions 1/2 medium sized onion, finely chopped 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped 1 tsp chopped rosemary 1 tsp chopped parsley 1 slice of white or brown bread, crumbed 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese 1 tbsp mayonnaise 1 tbsp grated strong cheddar cheese 1 tbsp cream cheese salt and freshly ground black pepper   optional   2 oz prawns, peeled and deveined and chop into small pieces or 1 smoky bacon rasher, cooked and chopped     serves 2

 

1. Heat some oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion, spring onion and garlic until soft.

2. In a bowl mix your fried onion mixture with the bread crumbs, cheeses, mayonnaise, herbs and salt and pepper.

3. Divide your mixture up between the two mushrooms and gently fill them up with the mixture. Place your Stuffed Mushrooms onto your BBQ Plank and sprinkle with some parsley.

4. Preheat your BBQ to a medium heat and place your pre-soaked BBQ Plank with the mushrooms onto the BBQ Grill, close the lid and BBQ for 12-15 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and the top begins to brown.

 

 

This is the vegetarian version but you can add the chopped prawns or chopped smoky bacon to the mixture for the meat eaters.
