These grilled chicken wings come off the grill crispy and charred on the outside and juicy to the bone, thanks to a simple smoky dry rub and an easy two zone method. Sauce them any way you like.
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.
