🧂 Ingredients:
-
2 lbs (about 1 kg) chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional, for extra zing)
🔥 Instructions:
-
Prep the wings: Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels (this helps them crisp up).
-
Marinate: In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, spices, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).
-
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 375–400°F / 190–200°C).
-
Grill the wings: Place wings on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 20–25 minutes, turning every 5–6 minutes, until charred, crispy, and cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F / 74°C).
-
Serve hot: Garnish with chopped parsley or lemon wedges. Serve with ranch, blue cheese, or spicy dipping sauce.
