Ingredients

3 pounds chicken wings (drumettes and flat wings)

Wing Sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced
6 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1 tbsp. minced fresh basil
1 tsp. minced fresh thyme

1 Food Prep

If your chicken wings are whole, you will want to separate them into wings and drumettes.

Next, season the wings with kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste.

Finally, in a large bowl, mix the wing sauce ingredients together, and set aside.

How to Separate Chicken Wings into 3 Sections? Let’s Find Out! With a sharp knife, remove the pointed wing tip. This piece has very little meat, so it can be discarded. Then, with one cut between the joints, separate the flat from the drum. It’s that easy!

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets

Method: Direct-Heat Grilling

Temp: 450°F (High Heat)

How to Gauge Grill Heat Without a Thermometer

Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:

• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds

Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.

When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

3 The Cook

When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place the chicken wings directly over the coals.
Depending on the size of the wings, cook for about 5–7 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking.
Your chicken wings are done when they reach an internal temperature of 175°F on a digital meat thermometer.
Add the wings to the bowl of sauce and toss to coat.
Serve immediately, and enjoy.
