Grilled Chicken Wings
Description
This recipe coats chicken wings in olive oil and a simple dry rub consisting of kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Grilling begins over indirect medium heat to cook the wings evenly and safely while rendering fat and developing crisp skin. The internal temperature is monitored to reach at least 165 degrees, ensuring the meat is cooked through while remaining moist.
A final sear over direct heat on the grill adds some charred flavor and additional crispiness to the skin. This two-zone grilling technique balances thorough cooking with achieving a desirable texture. The wings serve well as a casual appetizer or part of a meal and can be paired with dips or sauces of choice.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings , preferably air chilled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Dry Rub:
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat half the grill to medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, place the charcoal on one side of the grill and with a gas grill use only the burners on half of the grill.
- Place wings in a large bowl with olive oil and dry rub ingredients. Toss well to combine.
- Place wings over the indirect heat source and cook for 15-18 minutes on each side, for about 30 minutes total or until the internal temperature registers at least 165 degrees and skin is crispy.
- Transfer the wings to the direct heat side and finish cooking for another 1-2 minutes on each side.Remove wings from the grill and serve.
