Spicy Grilled Chicken Wings Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs (1 kg) chicken wings
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (optional, for extra spice)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
  • In a large bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add lemon juice and hot sauce (if using). Mix well to form a paste.
  1. Marinate the Chicken Wings:
  • Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • Add the wings to the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat them evenly.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) for maximum flavor.
  1. Preheat the Grill:
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F/190°C).
  • Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  1. Grill the Wings:
  • Arrange the wings on the grill in a single layer.
  • Cook for 8–10 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a slightly charred, crispy exterior. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  1. Serve:
  • Transfer the grilled wings to a serving platter.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
  • Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, blue cheese, or extra hot sauce.

These wings are a crowd-pleaser and perfect for any occasion. Pair them with cold drinks and watch them disappear in no time!
