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 wings on the cool side of the grill and close the lid.

    • Turn the wings occasionally until they’re cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 175ºF, about 15 to 20 minutes.

    • Remove the wings from the grill and toss them in the sauce to evenly coat.

    • Remove the wings from the sauce and place them on the hot part of the grill.

    • Cook, turning often, for about 5 more minutes until the wings are glazed and browned.

    • Remove from the grill and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately, with extra sauce if desired.
