I don’t know about you, but summer makes me want to grill everything. Being out in the beautiful outdoors surrounded by close friends is always a blast. And grilling up these tasty wings only adds to the fun. This simple grilled chicken wing recipe is so good and has endless possibilities. You can make them super spicy, sweet, or tangy, however you like to eat your wings! The smoky flavor from the grill takes it over the top. And they pair perfectly with cold beer or cocktails when you’re ready to party.
Recipe Ingredients
Chicken Wings – You can buy the drums and wingettes or get the whole wings and cut them up yourself (the more economical choice). If you want to experiment with turkey wings, go for it. All you’ll need to do is parboil them for about 10 minutes, dry them, season them, and slap them on the grill. Seasoning – I use salt, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, pepper, cayenne, and a little brown sugar to balance the spice. Immaculate Bites Creole or jerk seasoning are also fabulicious. Sauces – This recipe’s beauty lies in being able to slather these with your favorite sauce. Caribbean pepper sauce, African pepper sauce, and remoulade are fantastic options.

Make-Ahead Instructions
You can marinate the chicken wings the day before and keep them in the fridge. Take them out 30 minutes before you want to grill them so that they come back to room temperature. These guys also freeze well. You can freeze them for two months, already seasoned and ready to go in a freezer ziplock bag.
Serving and Storage Instructions
These are best enjoyed hot off the grill with your favorite sides and sauces. The hardest part is waiting until you sit down to finish your wings. No judgment here! Storing these wings is super easy. Just toss the leftover in a Tupperware or airtight container with a lid. They will stay delicious for about four days. When you’re ready to finish off those leftover chicken wings, you can reheat them in the oven, an air-fryer, or put them back on the grill. You could even heat them in a skillet on the stove. Microwaving will work, but don’t expect them to get as crispy as before.
