Sticky + Funky Pok Pok Wings? You got it! I was asked by Rosso Flynn to compete in a grilling competition they were hosting last month and of course I said yes! I brought along BMW to help me. It was a hot, smokey good time. We were tasked with grilling chicken wings, bavette steak and quail. We had 30 minutes to complete each course and had a table of ingredients to choose from. I wound up winning in big part thanks to these Sticky + Funky Grilled Pok Pok wings that were inspired by our travels to Thailand and the famous Pok Pok chicken wings!

Rosso Flynn is a meat delivery company in Austin that sources pasture-raised, non-gmo meat from ranchers that use regenerative agriculture practices. When they asked if I would participate in their grilling competition of course I said yes! It was hosted at the lovely Lenoir patio— one of my favorites in Austin! I had so much fun competing against some of my blogger friends Couple in the Kitchen, Shayda and Sydney Torabi and ATX Party Girl!

My recipe for these Sticky + Funky Grilled Pok Pok Wings was inspired by BMW and my travels to Thailand. We used brown sugar for the sticky-sweet-finger-lickin’ element that is always so good with chicken wings and fish sauce for that funky element that really brings a pop of flavor. I finished it off with flaky salt and cilantro!

I whipped these up in 30 minutes so I have confidence that you can make these at home without any trouble! Maybe just grab some extra napkins!
