Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon piment d'Espelette (or mild chili powder)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, piment d'Espelette, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Cover and marinate the wings in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the wings on the grill in a single layer. Grill for 10-12 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the wings are golden brown and have a slight char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the wings with lemon juice for a fresh, tangy finish.
Transfer the grilled wings to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Basque Wings!
