How To Make BBQ Wings

It’s very easy to barbecue chicken wings on an outdoor grill. First, you need to marinate the wings with marinade. Pat try the chicken wings with paper towels to make sure that the marinade is not diluted. Combine the wings with the marinade of garlic, dry rub, honey and soy sauce. Stir to combine well and let marinate in the fridge overnight. The next day, fire up an outdoor grill and barbecue the chicken wings at 500-600°F until they are cooked, about 20 minutes.

BBQ Tips For Perfect Barbecue Wings

BBQ chicken wings are supposed to be dark brown in color, but many people make the mistake of burning the chicken wings. As the result, the wings are black and way over cooked, not to mention that it’s unhealthy to eat the carbon on the burnt chicken wings. Here are my tips for the best BBQ chicken wings every time!

Heat up an outdoor grill to 450 degrees F before you start barbecuing the chicken wings. Make sure you arrange the chicken wings on the upper rack, skin side up and away from direct heat. Cook the bottom part of the wings first. The bottom part of wings has less skin and hence less oily drips. This will prevent the direct heat at the bottom from flaring up and burning the wings. Cover the lid and the temperature will go up to 500°F to 600°F. Barbecue the chicken for 5 minutes before turning over. Make sure you open the lid to check doneness. The barbecue time depends on on the size of your chicken wings.
