Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. chicken wings
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Fresh herb (optional), for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.
  • Place the chicken wings in the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Use your hands or tongs to toss the wings in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
  • Once the grill is ready, place the marinated chicken wings on the hot grates. Allow them to cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the wings.
  • While grilling, baste the wings occasionally with any leftover marinade to enhance the flavor.
  • Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle some fresh herbs on top for garnish.
  • Serve the grilled Lemon Garlic wings hot and enjoy them as an appetizer or a main dish. They pair well with a variety of dipping sauces, such as barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or a lemon-garlic aioli.

Notes

Note: Remember to always exercise caution when handling raw chicken and ensure it reaches a safe internal temperature before consuming.
