1Food Prep
First, prepare your wings — turkey wings have 3 sections: the wing tip, the middle joint and the drumette. You can grill your turkey wings whole, but if you’d rather separate them, it’s easy to do.
Next, in a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients and prepare your poultry rub.
Finally, season your wings with the poultry rub.
2Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford™ Original Charcoal Briquets.
Method: Two-Zone Method
Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)
3The Cook
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.
Place the turkey wing sections on the hot side of the grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes per side until browned and crisp.
Then, move the turkey wing sections to the cool side of the grill.
Cover the grill, and allow the wings to smoke for about 40 minutes, until cooked through, and have reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F on a digital meat thermometer.
Apply your favorite BBQ sauce to the wings and allow them to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce is sticky.
