Grilled Old Bay Chicken Wings that’s packed with flavor and perfect for your next BBQ or family gathering! 🍗🔥
Ingredients:
- 12 chicken wings (drumettes or flats) 🐔
- 2 tablespoons olive oil 🫒
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning 🌶️
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
- 1 teaspoon onion powder 🧅
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 🌶️
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 🌑
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice 🍋
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) 🌿
Instructions:
1. Prep the Chicken Wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the wings get crispy on the grill. 🧻
- If you prefer, you can separate the wings into flats and drumettes, but that’s optional. 🦴
2. Marinate the Wings:
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine. 🍋🌶️
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture. Let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge, for maximum flavor. 🕐
3. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F-400°F or 190°C-200°C). 🔥
- If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn down to an even heat; for a gas grill, just preheat for 5-10 minutes.
4. Grill the Wings:
- Lightly oil the grill grates with a paper towel dipped in oil to prevent sticking. 🛢️
- Place the wings on the grill in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded. Grill the wings for about 10-12 minutes per side, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking. The wings should be golden brown and crispy with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). 🍗🌡️
5. Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (like ranch, blue cheese, or hot sauce). 🌿
Tips:
- For extra crispy wings, brush them lightly with oil before grilling.
- Add extra Old Bay seasoning to the wings right after grilling for even more flavor! 🌶️
- If you like smoky flavor, add some wood chips to the grill for a smoky kick. 🌲
Enjoy your Grilled Old Bay Chicken Wings—perfectly seasoned, smoky, and juicy! 🍗🔥
