These cherry smoked char siu chicken wings are super tasty and easy to make. Just marinate them overnight and smoke until cooked, then glaze for extra flavor.
1: In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, Chinese 5 spice, garlic powder, fermented red bean curd, light soy sauce, hoisin, honey, oyster sauce, red wine, Shaoxing wine, and orange juice and zest.
2: Reserve 1/4 of the sauce in a container for glazing and store it in the fridge.
3: Mix together the remaining sauce and chicken, then transfer the mixture into an airtight bag and store it in the fridge overnight.
4: Preheat the smoker to 180°F for 10 minutes.
5: Smoke the chicken for 1 hour or until it reaches 160°F. Then, remove the chicken and increase the heat to 425°F.
6: Return the chicken to the smoker and brush the glaze over the top. Cook for another 3 minutes to crisp up the skin.
7: Let the wings rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with scallions.
