Grilled Crispy Chicken Wings
Fire up the grill for these savory Grilled Crispy Chicken Wings. They're a finger-licking delight - crispy, juicy, and bursting with flavor!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 lbs frozen chicken wings about 15 wings, thawed (fresh wings can also be used)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons onion salt or regular table salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or sweet paprika for a hint of sweetness
- ½ cup your favorite BBQ sauce optional
Instructions
- With clean paper towels, pat the wings dry and place them in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch, onion salt, and paprika.
- Pour the seasoning mixture over the wings and coat each wing.
- Refrigerate the coated wings while the grill preheats.
- Prepare the grill for indirect heat and add smoking wood for extra flavor. Heat the grill to 250°F.
- Place the wings on the grill and cook for 30 minutes with the cover closed.
- Increase temperature to 400°F and continue cooking for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.
- Remove wings from the grill.
- Serve immediately, or, if you prefer, coat the wings with your favorite BBQ sauce and then serve.
Notes
- If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator once they have cooled off. They should stay fresh for a few days.
- The internal temperature of the chicken wings should reach a minimum of 165°F for safe consumption. However, for extra tenderness, it's recommended to let them reach at least 180°F. The wings will be both safe and delicious at this temperature.
