The Amateur Chef

Grilled Chicken wings should be a requirement when having an outdoor BBQ with friends or family. When you think of Chicken wings, most people think of unhealthy flower battered, deep fried, oil wing that is smothered with a buttery sauce. Most people don’t eat chicken wings due to those several factors. But look no further with this recipe you will be able to forget about the oil, and butter sauce and truly enjoy these delicious and juicy chicken wings.

Although chicken wings are not the most common item you see on the BBQ, These grilled chicken wings are great tasting, easy to make, and make a great appetizer.  Another benefit from adding chicken wings onto your menu during a BBQ is that they are cheap (usually around 1.99lb). SO what you need to make these tasty treats is a package of chicken wings. Now ones you get the wings you will need to break them down into three parts as shown below.

After you have cut the chicken wing into three separate parts you can discard the wing tips, or freeze them to use as a base for a chicken broth.

Now comes the seasoning, this is enough for approximately 5-6lbs of chicken wings, so if you are making fewer wings I would suggest either halving the recipe or making the stated amount and place it in a container for future use.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons paprika

1 tablespoon ancho chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons ground coriander

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon cayenne powder

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Ok so now that you have created your spice blend and have your chicken wings you want to place your wings into a bowl and provide a generous amount of the spice blend. Cover the container and shake well to evenly distribute the spice blend.

I would recommend allowing the wings to marinate in the spice blend for at least 1 hour. Next step would be to place these perfectly seasoned wings on the grill for approximately 10 minutes.
