Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Whole Chicken Wings wing flapped removed
  • 2 tbsp BBQ Dry Rub
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder

Instructions

  • This method uses 2 zone cooking. The wings will be cooked in indirect heat at first and then will move to the direct heat side of the grill to finish off and get crispy. 
  • Prepare Your Chicken Wings: Dry off your wings fully with a paper towel and remove the wing flap if necessary.
  • Prepare Your Dry Rub and Toss With Chicken Wings: In a large bowl, whisk your dry rub together along with the baking powder until it is evenly combined. Toss your wings into the bowl and coat them evenly with dry rub. This will vary by dry rub, but for every 1.5 pounds of wings, use 2 tbsp dry rub and 2 tsp baking powder. 
  • Marinate: Let the wings marinate in the dry rub mixture UNCOVERED in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. 
  • Preheat Your Grill: When you’re ready to grill your wings, turn on one side of the grill and preheat it until the temperature stays at 400 degrees. While you’re waiting for the grill to preheat, remove the wings from the fridge and allow them to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. 
  • Grill Over Indirect Heat: Place your wings on the indirect heat side for 10 minutes making sure the grill temperature stays at 400. After the first 10 minutes, flip and cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Grill Over Direct Heat: Place wings over direct heat for 10 minutes flipping halfway through. This will ensure that the chicken wings get nice and crispy and finish cooking through. Remove from heat and eat as is or toss in buffalo sauce or BBQ sauce before serving.
