EAT THIS GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE TODAY.
Seriously. Eat it today. It takes about five minutes to put everything together and under 20 minutes to cook these wings. I made 30 of them last night for our family and it was smiles all around. I think that there was even a high five thrown in there. These are some seriously delicious wings.
I like my wings a little crispy and charred when they are cooked on the grill. You’ll notice when you cook this recipe that with the wet rub these wings won’t stick to the grill grates. Instead, they pick up some serious color and awesome char-grilled flavor. I think that this will turn into one of your “go-to” wing recipes in no time flat!
QUICK COOKING TIP: When you are preheating your grill, make sure that it gets good and hot before you add the wings. In order to get the nice sear on the wings and for them to cook through when we turn down the heat, the grill grates need to be pretty hot. I think on my grill the hood thermometer said 600 degrees, which is REALLY hot. If your grill doesn’t get that hot, look for 350 to 400. When you are cooking the wings, the hood thermometer (if you have one) should always register around 350 to 400 degrees.
An awesomely delicious grilled chicken wings recipe where the wet rub provides all the flavor for these tender, juicy wings. To prevent flare-ups for this or any recipe: in a squeeze bottle, add about ¼ cup Baking Soda. Add in about 1 cup water and shake. When flare-ups occur, carefully squeeze just a bit of the Baking Soda Water mixture onto the flare up. It will extinguish immediately and not flare-up again. GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE

FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE:
So if you really need a sauce, these wings love to be paired with the Tabasco Buffalo Sauce. I know that I should probably be putting up a wing sauce recipe, but the Buffalo Sauce is just delicious with these wings. This is not a sponsored plug, just what we ate that goes well with it!

This looks delicious! I love that you can grill the wings instead of frying them.
Hi Kristyn:
Yeah- and we think that they taste even better than fried! The char from the grill tasted so refreshing. Hope you try them soon!
Take care-

These wings look great, Scott! Great tip for flare ups. I’ve never added baking soda, but it makes sense! That’s a major issue I have with my gas grill is all the flare ups. I’ll try this!
Hi Jennifer:
That was a tip from my Director of Catering when I had my catering company. We had a super-high-powered grill that had a major problem with flare ups. The baking soda didn’t just put it out, but seemed to prevent it from happening in that spot until we were done cooking. Plus, if it gets on the food a little, it doesn’t change the flavor.
Hope you’re having a wonderful day-
Take care- Scott
Scott, this is right up my street. Simple, and simply…great. Lovin’ it!
Hi Katrin:
Thanks so much! The recipe is really fantastic. One of the best parts is the feedback I’ve been getting sent to me about just how easy they are… and how tender. Can’t ask for much more!
Take care-

Hey Scott, made these today and WooHoooo, We had a restaurant that had closed a while back and they made the best grilled wings. I have been trying to make them myself but just couldn’t get it right. You nailed it, these are spot on. Just gave this recipe to my family Thanks Bill
Hey Bill:
So nice to hear that. Hope you and your family enjoy these. We definitely have lots of wings in our house- my kids adore them!
Thank you for posting and have an excellent day in the kitchen!
Scott
Can I put the wings in the marinade overnight? Maybe about 14 – 16 hours?
Hi there:
Sure. That would make some really delightfully tender wings.
Thank you for stopping by and have a fantastic day in the kitchen!
Scott
Easy. That’s my first thought about grilling chicken wings. FIRE, that’s my second. Have to be careful of the grill fire after the fat starts melting off the wings. But really tasty too. Saw this on Men’s Journal.
Hi Drew:
Baking soda helps to tame those flares a little bit. Thank you for stopping by and checking out these heavenly wings.
Take care,
Scott
