Prepare the chicken wings
Before prepping the chicken wings, ensure that they are dry. You can do this by patting them down using paper towels. Once dry, proceed to remove the wing tips and separate the wings at the joint.
Next, marinate the chicken wings in your preferred seasoning, using a plastic food bag or a bowl. You can choose natural seasoning agents such as garlic, ginger or honey, or use a barbecue sauce that best suits your preference. Allow the wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for a more defined flavor.
Heat the grill
Preheat the grill to 400-450°F. This will help cook the chicken wings evenly and keep them crispy on the outside, while tender and juicy on the inside. The temperature also helps to prevent the wings from sticking to the grill.
Grill the chicken wings
Once the grill has heated up, take the chicken wings out of the marinade and place them on the grill. Arrange the wings on the grates for even cooking, leaving a little space between them. Close the lid and let the wings cook for 10-12 minutes.
Flip the wings over and let them cook for another 10-12 minutes or until they are fully cooked. You can use a meat thermometer to confirm this by checking the internal temperature of the chicken wings to be 165°F.
Apply sauce
Once the chicken wings are fully cooked, you can apply your desired sauce. Brush the wings with the barbecue sauce, or sprinkle them with your preferred dry seasoning. This will add an extra punch of flavor and make them more enjoyable.
Serve the chicken wings
Once the sauce has been applied, remove the chicken wings from the grill and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Transfer the wings to a large plate and serve immediately.
In conclusion, grilling chicken wings is a fun and easy way to enjoy a tasty and healthy meal. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy juicy and flavorful chicken wings every time. Remember to experiment with different seasoning and sauces until you find your preferred combination. With these skills, you can now host your family or friends and grill like a pro. Happy grilling!
