FAQ:
Use either a charcoal grill or a gas grill. If you use a charcoal grill, you will have additional flavor from the smoke.
Use an instant read thermometer to check that one wing has reached an internal temperature of 165°F. If all the wings are added at the same time, the should all be at the same temperature. The meat thermometer ensure you have perfectly cooked wings everytime.
Use a large bowl to gently toss the cooked wings in the sauce of your choice!
We do not recommend freezing the grilled chicken wings.
Reheat the wings in the air fryer, toaster oven, oven, or microwave.
You can marinate the wings for up to 2 days!
