Ingredients  

  • 1.2-1.4 kg chicken wings about 3 lb
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Set up your grill with a hot zone for direct heat and a cool zone for indirect heat. Pat the wings very dry, then toss them with the olive oil.
  • Mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, then coat the wings evenly in the seasoning.

  • Place the wings on the cool zone and close the lid. Cook for about 20 minutes, flip, then cook another 10 to 15 minutes until cooked through.

  • Move the wings to the hot zone and char for 3 to 5 minutes, turning constantly, until the skin is crisp and blistered.
  • Serve immediately, plain or tossed in your favourite sauce.

Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate. For extra crispy skin, pat the wings very dry and toss with a teaspoon of aluminium free baking powder along with the rub. Cook to at least 165°F, though 175 to 185°F gives the most tender texture.
