Japanese BBQ Wings

Japanese BBQ Wings
Combing my 2 favorite cuisines of Texas BBQ & Asian food make this an amazing chicken wing. In fact, I'm going to go ahead and declare these wings my current favorite chicken wing! Yes, this recipe includes a store bought BBQ sauce (you can make your own soy\mirin based sauce if you choose), but Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce is like a cheat code it is so good!

I just bought that Japanese BBQ sauce at Costco two weeks ago. It's phenomenal. I love that flavor.

[@BrianMiller1973]

I have seen it there too. Haven’t bought since I have never tried it (it’s a lot of sauce). Can you describe the flavor?

[@marky4564]

@@BrianMiller1973 fucking amazing that’s a good description

[@chris_favreau]

@@BrianMiller1973 it's a nice balance between sweet and savory... My wife is a bit picky and doesn't care much for BBQ sauce... And she thinks that it's really good

[@aurora_skonyt]

Little salty little sweet hits the spot

[@ouyrwq]

You are making our world a better place. Thank you.

[@JBishop25]

Appreciate the tip about burning. I usually go indirect at higher heat, can’t wait to try this “reverse sear” this weekend. Here in upstate NY, we call the wing parts “drums”, “flats” and we discard the tips.

[@trentonallen1744]

Hey Matt how about a tour of the whole outdoor kitchen?? I’d love to see the whole setup and smoke control environment

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Coming soon!

For sure

[@crystallazzara1197]

I was about to ask the same thing! Can’t wait to see it!

[@stuartbelchem1464]

Accurate statement. Good call

[@stevenuhl6675]

Did a version of this tonight, but with skinless salmon. Cut the filet in cubes, marinated overnight in this Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce (found at Costco, huge container for $10) and then low-smoked on my Kamado Joe. Sprinkled on rub, powdered ginger, and Furikake seasoning. Came out great! Give it a try! Thanks Matt for the inspiration!

[@scottraridon5224]

I first tried Bachan’s over a year ago. It’s easy to see why they are doing so well. Thanks Matt for always inspiring us. 👊🏼🔥

[@vernondave8619]

I tried the Japanese barbecue sauce as a marinade and it was a smash hit! Highly recommend using this when you want a little oriental flavor. The pairing with the smoke flavor from the grill was top notch.

[@boatworkstoday]

That Bachan's sauce is bad ass on flank steak with an overnight marinade! Have many bottles of that stuff on hand ;-)

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Will try that!!!!

[@morganhaysphoto]

I second this!

[@taragolding4195]

Are you marinating the wings and the steak in the straight sauce or are you adding a little water or anything?

[@rickf.9253]

Hahaha, I agree with your Buddy, that little bite of the wing tip is the best and it's what I go for first on a wing. The tip, the flat then the drum.

[@garryhewes5153]

Seriously the best wings I've ever smoked. My friends keep requesting them. I did them 3 times in the first 9 days I watched this video.

[@SVTeel]

I have been using your seasonings for about two years and just started watching your videos. I like your style of cooking and have used some of your techniques to tweak my cooks. I recently made wings for July 4th and did a brine with a gallon of sweet tea and sea salt. I smoked them on my BGE for about two hours and pulled the plate setter to sear them up. My friends said they were the best wings they have eaten to this date. I can't wait to try the Japanese BBQ style next!

[@peterstergios]

I love your comments…”make the flavor profile your own”…you are like the Bob Ross of BBQ!

[@johnlebzelter4208]

Killer looking wings Matt! That clip of that post oak crackling’ was pretty awesome I must say!

[@kevinsadventures988]

So I just made this recipe on the grill. I don't have my smoker at the moment as I am in an apartment. So I turned the burner on the grill below the wings all the way to low and the other two on high, so almost indirect heat. They turned out fantastic! Oh and I added gospel all purpose. I wish I could add pictures of the final product!

[@randymo8709]

You turned me onto the Bachans last year. One of the best things ever! Use their product on so many things from jerky to burgers to chicken. Thanks so much.

[@dalebirkenstock2580]

I made your previous recipe with cornstarch and then some Bonchon sauce and they were incredible! Thank you! Gonna try this soon looks unbelievable.

[@benne017]

I made this today and they were great. I marinated them for 14 hrs in the sauce - I'd meant to just do 8, but I got busy. I was nervous the flavor would be too intense but they were perfect! I can't wait to try these with a little hot sauce to kick up the heat a tad!

[@chadeverett5423]

I have been smoking them first to 165 then fry them for 2 minutes and then tossing in the sauce…..can’t wait to try this method!!! Cheers 🍻

[@pj9241]

I’ve been doing similar but have even had really good luck with the air fryer

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I love that method too. I have a video in that last summer.

[@MrRiverfeverwa]

I love this recipe and have done it several times with that Bachan's Suace as the marinade. Now, you might consider doing a strip or flank steak using the same marinade. Dress it up after and bbq them for a BOMB main meal. Happy Holidays to you, your family and staff!

[@4seasonsTrucker]

Lived in Japan for 13 years they typically use shiokoksho (fine salt with msg and white pepper) and a bit of soy sauce. Good stuff

[@stuartbelchem1464]

You ain’t lying on the BBQ sauce. I brought this from your shop and oh my. Chicken thigh burger sliders with this bbq sauce. Oh my oh my.

[@dharrell2000]

I followed your instructions on the pulled pork last year, best we ever had, thank you😊

[@cpopuddlepirate6412]

My favorite wing I make is marinaded in ponzu sauce and seasoned in trader joe's chili lime seasoning then grilled. I will be trying this recipe!

[@duboistv2200]

I used your exact recipe except I used both the Holy Voodoo and the Holy Gospel. I only had an hour to marinade, therefore I added a few extra steps. I saved the marinade and boiled it with Hot Chili flakes, Black pepper, Garlic powder, Onion powder, and a Table spoon of Haitian Green seasoning (you can find it on KZbin). I used that boiled mixture as a mop during the smoking process each side and just before the grilling stage. The wings were out of this world delicious

[@pgrant7688]

Wings and diesel are the only things I haven’t cut back on. Er, TX as well, saw that bottle on your shelf. Those wings looked amazing. My wife has consented to cut the “scratchers” off, she, like you says they are useless.

[@scottdware]

Loved this video. That sauce is absolutely insane!

[@bruceruiz8184]

Holy Voodoo is amazing on chicken. We cover our legs and thighs liberally then put a slice a butter on each piece. Put in a casserole dish and pop in the oven at 350 for about an hour. Skin so crispy and delicious !!! A hit everywhere I make them. Trying these wings soon.

[@heavyq]

Flapper guy for sure. The scratchers I keep to use for stock. I've gotta give this a try. Bachan's sauce is so freakin' good. Thanks Matt!

[@chris_favreau]

I'm actually making these today... Using Malcom Reed's Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub to dust them. Marinated in the Japanese BBQ Sauce for roughly 24 hrs

[@kevinyeingst9618]

Just made these used Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub. Turned out great need some heat but a keeeper Thank you for another great recipes!

[@dewayneandrews642]

Those wingz look PHENOMENAL..

[@southwest7977]

Looks like a hibachi from the 70’s. I bought an old school hibachi recently. Great cook on a small scale.

[@romanduellge886]

That’s the only way I make them since the guy from Bachan’s came in to my father in law’s business last year and introduced us to the sauce. They are local where I live. That stuff is killer

[@richardclausen154]

I smoke up the scratchers, but use them for flavor accent in soups. They freeze well.

[@chadmiller6487]

Just found your holy cow seasoning at my local farm store. Absolutely love it. The coarse grind is wonderful. I'm sold 💯

[@JoshGilliam1228]

Just made these today for Mother’s Day and they were a hit!!

[@frankkottwitz6279]

Another great video and recipe love the new cooking rig too. Way to go Matt!

[@jackwebb5917]

I’m a flats guy, but the tips (scratchers) are pretty good also! Although they don’t have a lot of meat, what is there is awesome

[@BackyardWarrior]

Freshest postmaster on YT💯💯 AM1 & NE fitted🔥🔥 and the wings look good too

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

I’ll take these compliments!!!! 🔥🔥

Could the wings be deep fried as well to crisp them up?

[@BrisketMedic]

Man! I’m just seeing this. Love the combination of flavors and techniques

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thank you!!

[@Sea-Shed]

Made them tonight. This is now my go to wing cook. They are addicting! Thanks!!

Been meaning to try the sauce. Made the wings yesterday and they turned out great! I will marinate the wings longer next time. Great video. Thanks.

[@Braunschweiger89]

YATZZZEEEEE!!! At that point I knew. Heading to the store now.

[@TailEndCustoms]

Flapper for sure! Yum

[@danielhowell167]

Matt, PLEASE take a trip to Leroy and Lewis in south Austin. They have a really unique spread and their Texas style smoked beef cheeks… one of the best bites of BBQ I’ve ever had!

[@ryanm5202]

Wing tips are great for chicken stock

[@2toeninja]

My fiance brought home a bottle of that Japanese BBQ sauce a few weeks ago. Man that stuff is amazing.

[@WompRok]

This is my go to wing method, thanks! Don't even grill em, use most other sauces, works just too well!

[@edsonglutes8947]

Hey gang I marinade my wings (from sams) over night in Italian dressing (wal mart has a big bottle for cheap) I also smoke mine to 180ish, then grill for a short time to crisp, then sauce them with a doctored up sweet buddys with some holy cow and keep bbq to tighten up the sauce.... I've never had leftovers....

[@fz_phoenix8818]

Definitely a dream bbq set up…love the videos brother

[@bdawg4231]

Hell yeah brother!! About to do some smoked wings tomorrow night for the NFL draft! gonna do them exactly like this!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Keep me posted!

[@patrickoconnor9652]

Made these last night. WOW!!!!

Take your wing tips and smoke them and then use them to make chicken stock. Adds a beautiful bbq flavor to the stock!

[@narbekalantarians6269]

Those look bangin. Gotta try it out.

You’ve got to try that sauce on beef riblettes!

[@cannonsbbq]

These so amazing and the color on those wings is 🔥🔥🔥

[@jasonboyd5220]

Looks awesome as usual! Some Meat Church Japanese 7 spice would be a outstanding!!

[@darthxellaa912]

Those wings turned out amazing! You could also give the wings a post sprinkle of Shichimi Togarashi seasoning for an added hit of flavor.

[@TheDavey67]

This was one of the best wings ever! Really a nice alternative to regular "hot wings" the Japanese flavor on these is good. Any idea of sides?

[@richardboisvert9998]

Nice ! I did a Thai bar bq sauce , got candied pineapple , candied Papaya, candied mango , tamarin ,hydrated them them all day ,then put in blender with Thai chilis , cilantro , onion powder , roasted and fresh garlic , sesame , and toasted red chili flake , tepin preferably, be careful , extremely hot ! fish sauce , blend and you know the rest ! It made an amazing sweet hot sauce ! Enjoy !

The Bachan Japanese BBQ sauce is not available at Walmart. Just saw it this past weekend!

[@warcraft8226]

thanks

[@TheNeonSplatter]

Your metaphor about your friend liking the wing tips the best part compared to a pizza crust being the best part of a pizza is 110% off base. Apples and Oranges. It's comparison that I agree with, is that the best part of any chicken or turkey is the crispy skin, and that's all the wing tip has. All fat, no carbs.

[@Kana7782]

Another great video Matt. Thank you very much

[@MoesSmokeStackGrill]

Whoa! I’ll take a dozen sir! Thank you! 🔥🔥🔥

[@JustGrillingandChilling.]

Another great video Matt…. I’m leaving now to get the wings, the Bachan’s Japanese BBQ sauce…. and some Sapporo of course!!….

[@Goodsales23]

Just to set the record straight, the crust of a pizza IS the best part of the pizza. I don’t know about the scratchers though, I can’t get behind that. 😂😂

[@sloanhoggarth1333]

The Bachan's is amazing, how do you think it would do "Smoke a Fried". Thanks for all the generous content you put out.

[@smokinwithskruggs]

Just tried this this evening but with Holy Voodoo. Awesome!!!!

[@FlyByNightBBQ]

I need to find that Japanese BBQ sauce! I usually prefer the drummies, but your technique to loosen the meat from the flats looks like a winner. Sure to impress at the bar when you pull it clean like that. Ha!

This is great. Thank you for my next cook idead. ❤

1-cup soy sauce 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup water Thats the baseline Add garlic, ginger, pepper, green onion to taste

This is great. We love Bachan’s Japanese BBQ Sauce...I am going to try this simple cook. Any thoughts on applying this to either drumsticks or thighs? make some really tasty teriyaki style chicken I think...

[@kseriesdan9722]

I can't buy the sauce but make my own with Japanese soy,garlic,ginger maybe a cheeky couple of bird eye chilli's and myrion.smoke on my pitboss compition barrel at 300f with oak. I like wings because quick easy cook
