Instructions

  • Measure all ingredients into a small mixing bowl and thoroughly mix to fully incorporate spices.
  • Rub the chicken wings on all sides with a generous amount of the dry rub.
  • Preheat the grill to medium high heat (350º-400ºF)
  • Place dry-rubbed wings on the grill allowing to cook for 6-8 minutes. Turn wings occasionally to crisp them all over. They can cook longer if they don’t look crisp enough.
  • *Be careful not to burn in the wings, the sugar in the dry rub can cause the wings to burn.
  • Move the chicken wings to indirect heat and continue to cook with the lid closed for another 8-10 minutes.
