Instructions

  1. Using a sharp knife, cut the chicken wings into drummettes and flats. Save the wings ends for another application. If using a marinade, go ahead and marinate the wings for the recommended length of time.
  2. If grilling immediately, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Fire the grill and preheat to 350-400 degrees. Oil the grill grates with vegetable oil and place the prepared wings onto the grill grates. Grill for 4 minutes on side one and 3 minutes on side two. Heat to an internal temperature of 165. Juices should run clear.
  4. Serve hot with sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • See post at Loaves and Dishes for how to cut chicken wings if you are not familiar. 
  • If you have never grilled wings before, you may want to marinate them to help maintain juiciness and flavor without over cooking them. A good option is to use zesty italian salad dressing for any of the McCormick brand marinades. If you plan to use a Buffalo sauce at the end, be sure to pick a marinade that will go with that (Zesty Italian doesn't really). 
  • To crisp the skin after grilling (if it isn't crispy enough to your liking), preheat the broiler on the oven. Place the chicken wings on a sheet pan with plenty of space between. Broil for 3 minutes to develop a nice char and to crisp the skin. 
  • Sauces are terrific for dipping wings. For primary sauces like buffalo or bbq, warm the sauce slightly. For cooling sauces like ranch and blue cheese, keep these in the refrigerator until ready to use.
