Spicy Grilled Chicken Wings
Ready In: 12 hrs 20 mins
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1⁄4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 dash hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
- 1⁄4 cup canola oil or 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 lbs chicken wings
Directions
- Place the pepper and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add the garlic cloves and crush into the salt and pepper to make a thick paste.
- Add the lemon juice, crushed red pepper, and hot sauce.
- Whisk in the olive oil slowly until well combined.
- Place the chicken wings in a large sealable plastic bag.
- Add the marinade and seal the bag tightly.
- Shake the bag well to coat.
- Refrigerate for 12-48 hours.
- Remove the chicken wings from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 25-30 minutes while heating the grill.
- Grill over medium-high heat, flipping frequently and brushing with the marinade for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Do not brush the wings with the marinade for the last five minutes to make sure the juices all cook thoroughly.
- Throw away the marinade.
- Serve hot, at room temperature, or chilled (see how versatile this is?).
- The wings can be refrigerated for up to 2 days before serving chilled, or reheated.
