Step 1: Simple prep work
I always go with fresh detached chicken wing pieces which helps with time management. To start, coat the raw wing pieces in olive oil and season them with Dad’s All Purpose rub. With a nice mild BBQ flavor and few black pepper flakes, it’s the perfect poultry seasoning. Make sure to get an even coat throughout.
Dad’s Seasonings
Must have grillin seasonings!
Step 2: How to grill the perfect wings.
Heat up the grill to 450 degrees and set it for indirect heat. Place the seasoned chicken wings on the grates and cook for 45-60 minutes or until the wings internal temperature reaches 180 degrees. Flip the wings half way through to ensure an even cook throughout.
Wing Grilling Tips
- Grill on indirect heat to avoid the skin from burning
- Grill at a higher temperature to get the skin crispy
Step 3: Make homemade honey lime wing sauce.
