Grilled Chicken Wings (SO Crispy!)

Crispy grilled chicken wings tossed in a buttery Buffalo sauce and served with blue cheese and veggie sticks.
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time32 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo hot sauce
  • 2 tsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing
  • 2 medium celery sticks
  • 2 medium carrot sticks

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to 425°F and clean the grates; pat the wings dry on paper towels.
  • Brush the wings with the olive oil, then season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the Buffalo hot sauce, melted butter, and chopped cilantro; set the sauce aside for tossing later.
  • Oil or spray the grill grates to prevent sticking and arrange the wings on the grill in a single layer; close the lid and grill for about 25 minutes, flipping, rotating, and spraying or brushing every 5 minutes to promote even charring.
  • Move wings to a cooler area of the grill or a higher grate near the end so they heat through without drying out, and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part (not touching bone) reads 165°F.
  • Transfer the hot wings to the bowl with the sauce and toss with tongs or a spoon until evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing, celery sticks, and carrot sticks.

Equipment

  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • Paper Towels
  • Large Bowl
  • Tongs
  • Meat Thermometer

Notes

  • Patting wings dry helps achieve crispier skin.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure wings reach 165°F.
  • Flip and rotate every 5 minutes for even charring.
  • Mix sauce in a large bowl so wings can be tossed easily.
  • Serve immediately after tossing for best texture.
