Grilled Chicken Wings are a popular appetizer in many cultures, and this Japanese-style recipe puts a unique spin on a classic dish. The wings are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sake, mirin or honey, scallions, garlic, and ginger, which gives them their distinct umami flavor and aroma. They are then grilled to perfection, resulting in juicy, tender meat with a crispy skin. These wings are a great way to add some variety to your regular grilling routine and impress your guests with your culinary skills.

Instructions

1.	In a blender, combine the soy sauce, sake, mirin or honey, scallions, garlic, and ginger. Blend until smooth.
2.	In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with the marinade. Toss to coat well.
3.	Allow chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
4.	Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5.	Remove the chicken wings from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
6.	Place the chicken wings on the grill, skin side down, and grill for about 10-12 minutes, until browned and crispy.
7.	Flip the wings over and grill for another 8-10 minutes, until cooked through and golden.
