BBQ CHICKEN WINGS.

How to Cook BBQ Chicken Wings at their Best

Barbecue chicken wings are a great classic for every occasion, from summer barbecues to parties with friends. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, they can be prepared in a thousand different ways. Here is a guide on how to cook them at their best!

Ingredients

1 kg chicken wings
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
BBQ sauce of your choice (homemade or store bought)

Preparation

1. Prepare the wings

Start by washing the chicken wings under running water. Dry them well with paper towels. Remove any remaining feathers and the end of the wing, if desired.

2. Marinate

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder (if using). Add the chicken wings and mix well, making sure they are completely coated in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but if you have time, leave them for a few hours or even overnight.

3. Prepare the BBQ

Light the grill and heat it to medium (about 180-200°C). If you are using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are very hot and evenly distributed. If using a gas grill, adjust the burners to achieve the desired temperature.

4. Cook the wings

Place the chicken wings on the grill, avoiding overlapping them. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning every 5-7 minutes to ensure even browning. Use a cooking thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.

5. Add BBQ sauce

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the wings with barbecue sauce. This will give them a delicious flavor and a glossy glaze. Be careful not to burn the sauce, as it contains sugar that can caramelize quickly.

6. Serve

Once cooked, remove the wings from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with a barbecue sauce on the side and, if desired, accompany them with crunchy vegetables or a fresh salad.

Extra Tips

Sauce Variety: You can experiment with different barbecue sauces, such as spicy, smoky, or sweet.
Seasonings: Try adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade for an extra kick.
Indirect Cooking: If your wings tend to burn, try using indirect cooking, moving them to a cooler area of the grill after browning.

Cooking BBQ chicken wings is easy and fun. With a little attention and a few tricks, you can delight your guests with an irresistible dish. Enjoy!
