When presented with Tyson® Breaded Chicken Wings to showcase in a flavor-forward application, Joshua Ingraham opted for a more global approach.“Hoisin is technically a barbecue sauce; it’s just not an American barbecue sauce,” he notes. “For this dish, I wanted to combine the idea of barbecue with the flavors of East Asia.” To balance the intense flavor of the wings, the chef pickles watermelon to produce a complementary acid that helps cleanse the palate between bites of the spicy meat.
