3The Cook

    • Cover the grill and adjust your vents to maintain a temperature of 275°F, then lay out your chicken wings on the grill over indirect heat, keeping a slight amount of space between each wing.

    • Place the thermometer probe into the thickest part of your chicken wing without touching the bone.

    • Cook your chicken wings until they reach an internal temperature of 175°F, around 75–90 minutes.

    • Optional: Baste your wings with your favorite sauce and allow them to caramelize over direct heat for 1–2 minutes. Then, remove them from the grill and serve!
