Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken wings. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk the ingredients together to create a marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and ensure they are well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Once the grill is heated, oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated chicken wings on the grill in a single layer.
Grill the chicken wings for about 20-25 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and have a crispy skin when done.
Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should read 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are cooked through.
Remove the wings from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Before serving, sprinkle the grilled wings with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and color.
Serve the Paleo Grilled Chicken Wings hot as an appetizer or a main dish. Enjoy!
