Grilled Chicken Wings

This is the best way to enjoy grilled chicken wings. The recipe is simple, using only a few ingredients, and they cook until juicy, tender and simply falling off the bone! These chicken wings have a smoky, charred taste from grilling combined with a salty, juicy, garlicky flavor in every bite!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 20 chicken wings drumettes and flats, separated
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • n a large bowl, toss the wings in olive oil until well coated.
  • Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, pepper and paprika over the wings and toss until evenly distributed over the wings. Set aside until the grill is ready.
  • Prepare one side of the grill for direct high heat. (450 degrees)
  • Sear each side of the wings over the direct high heat briefly, until desired color is achieved. (1-2 minutes, grill uncovered)
  • Move the chicken wings to the opposite side of the grill to finish over indirect heat until the temperature reads 165-185 degrees. This will take about 8-12 minutes in a covered grill.)
  • Remove from the grill and serve.

Notes

Be sure to check the full post above for more ingredient tips, serving ideas, storage info, and much more!
  • For Perfectly Cooked Wings. Be sure to cook the wings UNCOVERED during the sear and COVERED while finishing the wings.
  • Cook a Little Longer. The chicken is ready to eat at 165° F, but for wings I like to cook them a bit longer, up to 185° F, so they fall off the bone. 
  • Make Sure Your Wings are Dry. This way the oil and spices stick perfectly to the wings and they cook up nice and crisp.
