Chipotle Blackberry Wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy

You know I love chicken wings. Any time, any way. So I was really looking forward to these wings. I made chipotle blackberry wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy with the Wingin’ator 3000, but you can make them in the oven, on a grill, or just deep fry them. The sauce is what makes these wings fantastic. A nice sweetness and a nice smoky heat. Perfect.

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

To cool off the heat a bit, I served these chipotle blackberry wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy with our buffalo wing dipping sauce. Oh, and don’t like blackberry? Try this same recipe with raspberries!

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Blackberry Jalapeno Glazed Pork Tenderloin

I can’t get over just how good this pork tenderloin was. The brine made the meat tender and juicy. And the blackberry jalapeno glaze was out of this world. Not hot, just a nice berry flavor.

The wine adds such a great richness to the glaze. I’m quite sure I’ll find other dishes that will really shine by adding some of this same glaze.

Tenderloin is my favorite cut of meat to grill. Treated right, it comes out so tender and juicy. The key is to just don’t overcook it.
