Japanese BBQ Wings

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

Accurate statement. Good call

[@analyrodriguez9879]

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

Little salty little sweet hits the spot

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

[@davidnipper164]

I love the way you give enough detail that we can actually go do what you show....Thanks keep it up

[@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.

[@joesabella3300]

These look amazing Matt and thanks for showing folks that sometimes the simple recipes are the best. Have never had the Bachan's yet, but definitely trying these out this weekend. Thanks again.

[@ftba11er88]

I know from a lot of personal experience that the hardest part of cooking is keeping anything from dripping on those clean Nikes. Bravo to you for always keeping those kicks fresh throughout a cook

[@dalespencer8494]

Matt, just wanted to let you know that I made these wings for our tailgate yesterday and they were the bomb. Thanks for the recipe and your channel.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 👊🏼🔥

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@papad9067]

Another Great Cook Matt... Thank You!

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Thank you!!!

[@bobfoisy5215]

Love finishing my smoked wings on the grill - great way to add a little texture and some additional flavor.

[@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.

[@sniperlarue]

Made these wings exactly as shown and I gotta say they were some of the best wings ever!

[@gregs180]

one of my favorite place to go to in NYC is a Yakitori on St Marks. Hands down the best things they made with this sauce is marinated chicken meatballs and whole grilled squid. For the squid, you cook the tube whole and cut into rings when finished.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@henning33sud58]

I like that at the end the music and the exit moderation comes together. Big time!

[@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!

[@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.

[@Cassandra-sn1ni]

Matt, there is no doubt your BBQ skill set are great obviously you are a Grill Master. HOWEVER, I was most impressed with how you have mastered the art of eating a "chicken wing"! Seriously, I have never seen anyone eat a chicken wing so effortlessly, So, I hope you don't mind me using your style of eating chicken wings without getting your fingers messy.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

LOL, I love this!!!!!

[@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

[@johnlebzelter4208]

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

[@peterstergios]

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

[@leshosey28]

Matt every year I do a crawfish boil I take spare ribs and boil them in the Crawfish boil for 10 minutes and then put them on my smoker at 225 for 4 hours. Everybody loves them give it a try

[@BLP-BrianLucasProject]

Love the term "SCRATCHERS"! 😂I've always referred to them as handles for holding the full wing. On a side note, just recently got turned on to your channel and subbed. Got some Meat Church rubs in my Christmas list. Appreciate all you do to educate us with these fantastic videos. Happy Smokin'

[@seangourlay9261]

Great video. I got so excited after watching this that I went out and bought some chicken wings and marinated half of the wings in a Korean sweet chicken sauce and the other half in a tonkatsu sauce. I have them marinating now. Can’t wait to cook them up.

[@2kshortgod554]

I love the scratchers the crispy tips are out of the world ❤️

[@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!

[@TruckerDiary]

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

[@Huzzunga]

Joy just came home from Walmart with a bottle of Bachans BBQ sauce so we are itching to try it out. Working OT tomorrow and Monday so maybe wings Wednesday since this is a fairly fast cook

[@datrumpet5]

For wings, I prefer to put them on some sort of basket like an airfryer basket so that I can prep them before I open the smoker door and then place them all on it really quickly and not lose any heat. It also makes it easier to flip them because I can take them out and close the door and then flip them on my own time without leaving the door open too long

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@frankkottwitz6279]

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

[@dewayneandrews642]

That bachan Japanese bbq sauce is good.... I tried them on some ribs like in one of your previous videos ; but never had it on wings... Gotta give it a try on some wings... Never thought of using it as a marinade...

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

so good!

[@scottdware]

Loved this video. That sauce is absolutely insane!

[@CoolFLDad]

Those wings look great! Definitely looking for that sauce

[@tammyschilling5362]

These look great. I'm sure it would be good on drumsticks and things, too. RE: chicken feet and wing tips - put them in the freezer to make broth, it will be the best of your life

[@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?

[@wornslick]

Those would have been gone after pulling them from the smoker around here! Definitely going to give them a try, thanks for another great video!

[@BillThiry]

Made some wings today and they were the hit of the party.

[@alfredorojas2675]

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.

[@JustGrillingandChilling.]

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

[@southwest7977]

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

[@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 💯

[@jasonboyd5220]

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

[@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!

[@dharrell2000]

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

[@Chubba4vt]

this bbq sauce is the BEEEEEST. i tried it at costco and was like. WE HAVE TO BUY THIS.

[@m.j.mcintear793]

The secret to the tips are to cook them longer to bite the whole thing. It’s like how people used to refry fish bones in batter to eat the bones. It’s just a thing when we didn’t have much. Thank you for trying it though. Would like to see someone try cutting the wing only in two leaving that on the flap and cutting half way into the breast leaving that on the drumsticks like Church’s chicken. Life changing plus it makes the other half of breast and thigh basically the same size and cook time

[@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....

[@texanjared]

What do you recommend RE Grilling if you just have a Traeger and no grill. Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks!

[@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!

[@JoshGilliam1228]

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

[@ryanwimberly8876]

Love it Matt!! You keep making badass videos! I’m definitely giving this a try with your rub. 🤘🏼

[@garytingler3222]

Matt the wings look amazing. Going to try it if I can find the sauce. Here is something I had the other night. Not sure if you have tried it before. Stopped by Outback last night for dinner. They had a new meal called Twisted Ribs. Not sure if you have heard of them or tried them. It is Baby back ribs cut into riblets, bone still in. They are smoked to tender not fall off the bone and then deep fried for a short time to give them a little crunch on the outside. They were really quite tasty. They put way too much BBQ sauce on them for my liking. Just a thought for you.

[@Sea-Shed]

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

[@bradcampbell624]

Crispy scratchers are great. Sort of like the tail on fried fish. I don't know if I would trade 10 tails for 1 whole fish though. But I Would have to deliberate for a minute or 2...

[@mmorris730]

Hey bud that was awesome thanks for the video on the wings they look awesome I'm going to do some tomorrow will let you know how they turned out

[@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

[@narbekalantarians6269]

Those look bangin. Gotta try it out.

[@BrisketMedic]

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

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

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

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...

[@Realmoflo2]

I like the bite of wing tip especially fried.

[@cannonsbbq]

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

[@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!

[@dewayneandrews642]

Those wingz look PHENOMENAL..

[@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.

[@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.

[@jasonherrington2002]

have you tried these on a rotisserie with a basket? I am getting a napoleon basket for my joetisserie on BGE and have heard 400 for about an hour with some smoke wood chunks and you get a nice crispy skin.

[@lx2nv]

Man that looks amazing. Been using that method to cook my wings, but usually pull from smoke at a lower temp. I'm gonna let them smoke longer next time, thanks!

[@Braunschweiger89]

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

[@WompRok]

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