Smoky, crispy, and coated in a buttery, tangy sauce, these Grilled Chicken Wings are marinated to perfection and then grilled until juicy and flavorful. They’re perfect for summer cookouts, game day, or anytime you’re craving finger-licking goodness.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4–6 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Wings:
  • 3 pounds chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • For the Wing Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

  1. If needed, split wings into flats and drumettes. Trim and discard the tips. Pat dry and transfer to a large bowl or zip-top bag.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the marinade over the wings, toss to coat, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Preheat grill to 425°F (218°C). Let wings come to room temperature.
  5. For the sauce, melt butter and combine with hot sauce, soy sauce, and vinegar. Whisk and adjust to taste.
  6. Grill wings for 12–18 minutes, flipping every 4–5 minutes until internal temperature reaches 170–180°F and wings are crispy.
  7. Remove from grill, let rest a few minutes, then toss in wing sauce or serve sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Use indirect heat for more evenly cooked wings without flare-ups.
  • Letting wings rest helps juices redistribute for better texture.
  • For crispier skin, pat wings extra dry before marinating.
