Grilled Chicken Wings Recipe, Mediterranean-Style
Report
Marinated in onions, garlic and lemon with several warm spices, these Mediterranean-style Grilled Chicken Wings are infused with flavor in every bite. They take only 20 minutes to grill, but for best results, allow the wings sometime to marinate in the fridge.

Ingredients
For the marinade
- 1 large red onion, quartered
- 8 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes)
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
For the wings
- 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings
- kosher salt
- 2 lemons, halved
Instructions
- In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade, combine the onion, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and spices. Pulse until well combined into a thick marinade.
- Season the chicken wings well with Kosher salt and put them in a zip top bag. Pour the marinade over and zip the bag shut. Massage the bag a bit to distribute the marinade.
- Lay the bag of wings flat on a large plate or tray. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, turning the bag over once midway through.
- Heat a gas grill to 425 degrees F and lightly oil the grates.
- Shake off excess marinate then arrange the wings over direct heat. Cover the grill and cook the wings for 15 to 20 minutes, turning over every 5 minutes, until they are fully cooked through. Grill the lemons, flesh side down.
- Serve the wings immediately with the grilled lemons. And squeeze the lemons all over to your liking. Add your favorite sauce for dipping (I like the coolness of Tzatziki yogurt cucumber sauce).
