Instructions:

The melt-in-your-mouth quality of these slow-cooked wings goes seamlessly with their smoky Asian flavours. For top-notch texture, never allow the temperature of your barbecue or smoker to go over 150°C/300°F. Small wings need only about 1½ hours to cook. Larger wings will take about 2 hours.
