"These salty-n-sweet Polynesian-style wings are nicely balanced, finger-licking treats. Serve them with your favorite tiki cocktail. Game plan: These wings can also be cooked on an outdoor grill over medium high heat (about 375°F). Just rub the grill grate with several layers of paper towels dipped in vegetable oil, then grill the wings covered, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown, no longer pink at the bone, and the skin is crisp, about 20 to 25 minutes total...."
