Description
Juicy and flavorful seasoned grilled chicken wings with a smoky char and a crispy skin. Perfect for gatherings and easy to prepare on any grill.
Ingredients
Scale
- 900 g (2 lb) whole chicken wings, tips removed
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) neutral oil (vegetable or grapeseed)
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 10 g (2 tsp) kosher salt
- 15 g (1 tbsp) packed brown sugar
- 10 g (1 tbsp) paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 5 g (1 tsp) chili powder
- 5 g (1 tsp) garlic powder
- 5 g (1 tsp) onion powder
- 2 g (1/2 tsp) black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place in a bowl. Toss with neutral oil, apple cider vinegar, and kosher salt. Let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Combine brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a bowl. Rub the mixture evenly over the wings.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 200–230°C (400–450°F). If using charcoal, bank the coals to one side for indirect heat.
- Sear wings over direct heat for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and charred. Move to indirect heat and cook for another 8–12 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
- Transfer wings to a wire rack on a baking sheet and rest for 5 minutes before serving. Finish with a squeeze of lemon or chopped parsley.
Notes
For extra-crisp skin, pat wings completely dry and let them sit uncovered in the fridge for 1 hour before applying oil and rub. Avoid overcrowding the grill for best results.
