Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, paprika, honey, and low-sodium soy sauce until well combined.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are thoroughly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 350°F to 400°F.
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill.
Grill the wings for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Transfer the grilled wings to a serving platter and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the heart-healthy grilled chicken wings with a fresh garden salad or steamed vegetables for a complete, nutritious meal.
