Grilled Chicken Wings
Grilled Chicken Wings are seasoned with a dry rub of kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika then tossed with olive oil before cooking. The wings cook over indirect heat until the skin crisps and the meat reaches a safe temperature, finishing briefly over direct heat for extra char and texture. This method yields juicy wings with a crisp skin and well-seasoned flavor.
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.
