sooper bowel wings!!!!!

when jacksonville had the misfortune to have the sooper bowel here the united way had a fund raiser contest for wings. peg entered us against my best wishes (i would prefer to watch paint dry then watch football). none the less i modified a reiclen recipe and we finished 2nd behind sunshine grill and in the process buried hooters and all the large hotel and it was all done on a pellet pooper smoker.
this recipe is for 4 pounds but i had to scale it back as we did 100 pounds.
rub
4 tsp. sesame seeds
4 tsp wasabi powder (pure wasabi not the supermarket blend)
4 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. black pepper fresh ground
1 tsp. 5 spice powder
1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
process into a fine powder
marinade
2 T. dark sesame oil
3/4 c. sake
chicken
4 pounds
method
mix marinade,place in large plastic bag,add chicken and marinade overnite. drain chicken pieces. hit them with the rub. put in smoker pecan works best but choose your wood. smoker temp should be no more than 160f. smoke 2 hours and remove which just gives you time to make the glaze.
lime glaze
1/2 c. soy sauce
1 c. sugar
1 T. minced garlic
1/4 c. fresh lime juice
zest of one half lime julinned
mix in a heavy sauce pan and reduce till thick as honey. if you go too thick add some sake to thin. let set 5 mins before glazing chicken.
finishing
run smoker to 400f
put glazed pieces in and rip them out after 4 mins.
and there ya go!!!

ps. the university of north florida did a study on the impact of the jaguars on small businesses here in north florida. just getting a team here closed approximately 30% of the small businesses as the ones who bought seasons tickets had no further disposable incomes. so for those of you who have your city fathers trying to get a football team vote the jerks out of office!!!!!!!!!!
