How to grill chicken wings

  1. Marinate the chicken wings: Combine the yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon and spices in a bowl then add the chicken wings. I like to split the chicken wings into the drumette and the flat/wingette. I prefer to keep the tips on the flat/wingette because I love how crispy they are once grilled. Stir to coat the chicken wings in the marinade and allow to marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours covered in the fridge.
  2. Grill: Cook the chicken wings on a preheated grill (medium-high heat with a cool zone is best with chicken) and cook, turning regularly until the chicken wings are caramelized, golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the grill, allow to rest for 5 minutes then serve with lime wedges and fresh cilantro/coriander.

How long to grill chicken wings

Chicken wings take around 20-25 minutes to grill. Once the grill is preheated, add the chicken wings then turn the burners down to medium-high. If cooking over coals, make sure to have a cooler zone to move chicken wings to if they caramelize too quickly. The chicken wings are cooked when the flesh is opaque white all the way to the bone or they register 73ºC/165ºF on a meat thermometer.

    Is there a way to cook these in a pan?

      I would use a griddle pan over high heat and you can cook it exactly as directed. Alternatively you can place them on a wire rack set over a sheetpan and use the broiler/grill of your oven and cook until well-browned all over and cooked through.
