Ingredients
  

Chicken Wings

  • 48 ounces bone-in chicken wings
  • 1 medium stalk lemongrass
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ¼ cup coconut vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons calamansi juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon low-carb brown sugar replacement
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger

Basting Liquid

  • ¼ cup duck fat
  • 2 tablespoons annatto seeds

Instructions
 

  • Portion chicken wings into wingettes and drumettes, discard tips.
  • In a food processor (or blender), add lemongrass, garlic, vinegar, calamansi juice, water, sweetener, salt, pepper, and ginger. Pulse until blended and homogeneous. Drain to discard fibrous bits.
  • Pour marinade over chicken wings.
  • Transfer to a ziplock bag and refrigerate for about 2 hours, shaking and turning to evenly distribute marinade every hour.
  • To make the basting oil, in a saucepan, warm the duck fat then add annatto seeds.
  • When it begins to bubble, turn off the heat and allow to steep for at least 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and let cool. Store in an airtight container. May be refrigerated up to two weeks.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade. Lightly grease grill and heat over hot coals. Grill chicken, turning once or twice, basting regularly with annatto oil. Remove from heat.
  • Serve with a side of steamed broccoli and spiced vinegar (add crushed garlic, minced shallots, and chopped birds eye chili).
