Fire up the grill for these irresistible Whole30 Grilled Chicken Wings—a healthy and flavorful twist on a classic favorite! Perfectly seasoned with a zesty marinade of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, and smoky paprika, these wings deliver a mouthwatering balance of heat and tang, with a touch of cayenne for an extra kick. Cooking them over medium-high heat creates beautifully charred edges while keeping them juicy inside, making these wings perfect for summer barbecues or game-day gatherings. Ready in under an hour (with only 15 minutes of prep time!), this gluten-free, dairy-free, and Whole30-compliant recipe is as nutritious as it is delicious. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve hot for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or light meal that pairs beautifully with grilled veggies or a crisp green salad!
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the marinade and toss until they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken wings on the grill in a single layer. Cover and grill for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wings are cooked through and have a nice charred appearance.
Once cooked, remove the wings from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the wings for garnish before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 compliant grilled chicken wings!
