Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
Clean the chicken wings by rinsing them with cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight for enhanced flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing red with a layer of white ash.
Brush the grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the grill, leaving a little space between each wing. Grill the wings for 20-25 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes to ensure they cook evenly and develop a charred exterior.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey and lime juice to create a glaze.
During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the glaze onto the chicken wings, flipping them and brushing the other side to caramelize slightly.
Remove the wings from the grill once they reach an internal temperature of 165°F, as measured by a meat thermometer.
Let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
