Get ready for a flavor explosion with Pete Klein’s bold and vibrant Banh Mi Wings. Inspired by the classic Vietnamese sandwich, these wings bring together smoky charred chicken, sweet heat, and tangy crunch. A black truffle hot sauce binder sets the stage, locking in juicy flavor under a crust of Blazing Star Porkin’ Rub. The wings are slowly cooked to perfection, seared for that irresistible crisp, then glazed in a sticky fusion of hot honey, sriracha, and Japanese BBQ sauce. A final drizzle of Melinda’s Spicy Garlic Parmesan Sauce delivers a garlicky punch, while pickled daikon and carrot, fresh jalapeño, and cilantro bring that signature banh mi freshness. These wings aren’t just cooked — they’re crafted.

Ingredients

  • Melinda’s Black Truffle Hot Sauce (binder)
  • Blazing Star Porkin’ Rub

  • Melinda’s Spicy Garlic Parmesan Sauce (finishing drizzle)
  • Pickled daikon & carrot (garnish)

Directions

  1. Start by coating wings with Melinda’s Black Truffle Hot Sauce as a binder.

  3. Cook wings over indirect heat.
  4. While wings cook, prepare sauce by combining Melinda’s Hot Honey, Sriracha, and Japanese BBQ Sauce.
