Kaya cookout recipes | Chef Bill Fuller

The backyard barbecue has become stale over the past few years with the same foods, sauces, and recipes. 

That's why Chef Bill Fuller joined Pittsburgh Today Live to bring you some unique recipes for your summer cookout! 

Jerked Winks

Ingredients

• Five chicken wings (the largest you can buy) 
• One cup of Walker's Wood jerk seasoning
• 2 large Ziploc bags

Instructions

1. At least three hours before cooking (and preferably the day before), marinate the wings by placing them into the bags and adding the jerk marinade.  Use rubber gloves as the marinade can burn your skin.
2. Squish the bags around with vigor and joy.
3. Allow to marinate quietly.
4. If oven roasting, preheat oven to 400°.  Place a sheet pan with a rack on it in the oven.
5. Spread wings out on the rack.  Cook until done, about 40 minutes.
6. If grilling, fire up the grill.  If charcoal, allow to burn down past super hot.  If gas, heat to medium.
7. Pull wings out of bags and place on grill.  Be prepared for flare-ups and sticking.  Close cover so the wings roast.
8. Cook wings on one side.  Turn. Close grill again.

When wings are done, dip and eat.
