What Type of Wings to UseI love to use party wings that are already split as opposed to whole chicken wings. Party wings will cook at a more even temperature. Feel free to use whole chicken wings if you like. How to Season the MeatI use my Homemade BBQ Rub and Seasoning for these. It’s a combination of the following:
I like to use a dry rub in conjunction with a liquid marinade to tenderize the meat. Chicken is served best when crispy on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. For the liquid marinade I use:

Grill TemperatureGetting to know your grill is important. Most modern and newer grills will display the temperature. For this dish, medium-high heat and 425 degrees is optimal.

Cook Time/How Long Do You Grill the WingsHow do you know when the wings are done? Wings can take anywhere from 15-20 minutes to grill. I like to flip them every 5 minutes to ensure they crisp up nicely. The wings should brown on both sides when finished cooking. According to the USDA, chicken should be cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature to destroy harmful bacteria that may be present. Use a food thermometer to be sure they have reached a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F. When testing with a meat thermometer, insert it into the thickest area of the chicken wing. Charcoal Grill vs Gas GrillYou can use either grill for this recipe. I personally use a gas grill most often. They are just so convenient, there’s less clean-up, and they preheat very quickly. Grilling Frozen Chicken WingsFrozen wings should be cooked on medium heat, around 350 and for 30-40 minutes. Cook time will vary. Use a meat thermometer and ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. You will also need to wait and season the wings once they have thawed some on the grill. Sauce for Dipping or DrizzlingFor cookouts, I prefer my wings without any sauce. They don’t need them because there’s so much flavor, but here are some ideas!
Leftover WingsYou can store leftovers in the fridge, tightly covered for 3-4 days. How to ReheatI like to use the air fryer, grill, or oven. I’m not a fan of using the microwave for these (there’s a change in flavor), but you can. For the grill, air fryer and oven, I reheat on 350 degrees until warm. Freezer TipsCooked wings can be frozen for later, tightly sealed and covered, up to a few months.
