We eat chicken wings all-year round and we cook them different ways. We prefer grilling chicken wings instead of frying during the warmer months. Just because it's easier and the flavor is just as good. Grilling them over a moderate flame creates a crispy skin and renders out the fat.
This is a simple recipe for grilled chicken wings. While they are delicious plain, they were created with the intension of adding flavor to then with a sauce. You can toss them in any sauce you prefer such as barbeque, honey garlic, or lemon pepper sauce. The choices are endless. They are perfect with our Teriyaki Sauce and Blue Cheese Dip.

Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
How to Make Grilled Chicken Wings:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, paprika and black pepper.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and pour the mixture over them. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Once the grill is preheated, remove the chicken wings from the mixture and shake off any excess.
- Place the wings on the grill, making sure to leave some space between each wing to allow for even cooking.
- Cook the wings for about 10 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Note the cooking time will depend on the size of your wings.
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish the wings with some fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
- Serve the grilled chicken wings hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing.
These grilled chicken wings are perfect as an appetizer, main course, or even as a snack while watching your favorite sports game.
Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and spices to customize the flavor of your wings. You can also try basting the wings with your favorite barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of grilling for an extra layer of tangy goodness.
