Grilled Chicken Wings (+ dry rub) – learn how to grill chicken wings with this easy grilled wings recipe (dry rub recipe included!). So delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
Dry Rub (optional):
- 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt, more as desired
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
Chicken Wings:
- 15–20 chicken wings and drummies
- kosher salt and ground black pepper (if not using dry rub)
Instructions
- Ensure grill grates are clean and set grill temperature to medium-high heat (400/450 degrees F).
- Pat chicken wings dry with clean paper towels. Season all over with Dry Rub (if using) or season generously with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
- Place chicken wings over direct heat: 8-12 minutes total for flat wings and 12-16 minutes total for drummies, or until they reach an internal temperature of 163 degrees F at the thickest part (use a meat thermometer), flipping halfway.
- Remove from grill and let rest 10 minutes – the internal temp will continue to raise 5 degrees during resting time. The wings will be safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Serve and enjoy! (See notes if you want to add a sauce).
Notes
- What to serve with: we love this homemade ranch dressing (dairy-free) or this homemade blue cheese dressing!
- Sauces: if you want to add a sauce like your favorite bbq sauce or homemade buffalo sauce, then simply remove wings when they reach about 160 degrees F. internal temp, toss them in the sauce (or brush it on) then place them back on the grill for 2 minutes per side or until the sauce becomes tacky (a.k.a. sticky to the touch) and the internal temp hits about 165 degrees F. Remove them and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy! Alternatively, you can toss fully cooked grilled chicken wings in your sauce of choice, but the sauce may not stick as well – totally up to you!
- Internal Meat Thermometer: you will definitely want to be sure to use an instant-read thermometer so you can accurately track the internal temp.
- Storage: any leftover wings can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
