Grilling Chicken Wings
Grilled on May 23rd, 2008 in Chicken, GeneralIf you’re as big a fan of chicken wings as I am, you should try grilling them rather than frying or broiling them in the oven. All you need to do is whip up a nice bbq chicken marinade, fire up the grill, and grill them as you would any other chicken piece. If you don’t have a marinade, here’s my favorite bbq chicken marinade in the world.
A few words of advice:
- Don’t put the heat too high - Wings are super delicate but if the heat it too high then you’ll burn the wings before you cook them, I prefer a medium heat that has just a little of sizzle.
- Use the warming racks - You will probably have a lot of wings and will need to contend with the variable heat zones of your grill so be sure to use your warming racks to let some wings take a break while others are cooking.
- Remember to keep glazing - Set aside some marinade as a glaze (don’t use the stuff you marinaded with, that’s unsafe) and glaze liberally.
- Cook thoroughly - It’s chicken so make sure you cook thoroughly, the last thing you want to do is get someone sick.
Enjoy!
I have a convection oven and i have found that is the best way to cook chicken wings. Not only are they healthier but they come out with a crisp skin.
That doesn’t seem like a bad idea….HOWEVER…if the grill has LARGER openings that you cook on it may be a problem. Chicken Wings are a bit small and some may fall through the cooking area.
