How-to
Prep Grill & Start Wings
- Assure that the grill is clean. Preheat to a “slow heat,” meaning, you should be able to hold your hand above it for 15-20 seconds
- Season wings liberally with salt and pepper
- Place on grill, rotating and flipping every couple of minutes to assure an even, golden-brown finish, and an internal temperature of 165º (this will take 15-20 minutes)
Make Catalan Relish
- Meanwhile, place the dried fruit in the sherry in a mixing bowl and let sit for 15 minutes
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well
- Remove wings from grill, top with Catalan relish and serve immediately
