Description

Delicious grilled chicken wings with a smoky flavor from liquid smoke and a touch of sweetness.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke (Optional)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
  • olive oil for grilling
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar or sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry.
  2. Drizzle the wings in the liquid smoke and soy sauce.
  3. Sprinkle the BBQ rub throughout.
  4. Marinate the chicken in the fridge for at least an hour. (You can refrain from marinating if you wish).
  5. Coat the grill grates in olive oil using a cooking brush or towels to prevent sticking.
  6. Preheat the grill to 425 degrees.
  7. Place the wings on the grill.
  8. Grill for 15-20 minutes (flip the wings every 5 minutes) or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.
  9. I like for my wings to have a little char and I like them crispy. I ensure the wings have met the appropriate internal temperature and from there I leave the wings on the grill until crisp.
  10. Remove the wings. Cool before serving.

Notes

  • Using low sodium soy sauce helps to control the salt content of the dish.
  • Chicken wings can be split party wings or whole wings, based on preference.
