A classic summer recipe, these grilled chicken wings are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Perfect for game day, a backyard barbecue, or a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the Wings:
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Grill the Wings:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the chicken wings on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through and crispy.
- Flip the wings halfway through cooking.
- Serve:
- Remove the wings from the grill and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as barbecue sauce, blue cheese dressing, or hot sauce.
Tips:
- Soak the Wings: Soaking the wings in buttermilk for a few hours before grilling can help to tenderize them.
- Add a Sweet Touch: For a sweeter flavor, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the dry rub.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try different flavor combinations, such as lemon-pepper or honey-garlic.
- Rest the Wings: Let the wings rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
Enjoy your delicious, homemade grilled chicken wings!
