Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken wings (mid sections and drumettes) about 1 kg
  • 4 clove garlic peeled and minced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp homemade dry rub
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

  • Rinse the chicken wings under cold water, then pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl combine minced garlic, honey, dry rub, and soy sauce; stir until blended.
  • Add the wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
  • Cover and refrigerate the wings to marinate for at least 60 minutes, or up to overnight for best flavor.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the marinated wings 4–6 minutes per side, turning until golden brown and charred in spots and cooked through.
  • Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Paper Towels
  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • Tongs
  • Measuring Spoons

Notes

  • Patting wings dry helps them brown better.
  • Marinate at least 1 hour for noticeable flavor.
  • Flip wings regularly to avoid burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
