Grilled Lemon-Garlic Wings Recipe Recipe

Grilled Lemon-Garlic Wings Recipe recipe
The Spruce Eats

Even though this chicken wing recipe is intended as an appetizer, it works equally well with larger pieces of chicken.

Ingredients

For the Brine and Chicken:

1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 quart water
3 pounds chicken wings

For the Lemon-Garlic Sauce:

2 to 4 large garlic cloves (finely minced)
Dash salt
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Method

1
Gather the ingredients.
2
In a large bowl, mix the salt, sugar and water together, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolves.
3
Put wings in a 1 gallon resealable bag with the brine and allow to marinate in fridge for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Discard brine, rinse the wings briefly with cold water, and pat them dry with paper towels.
4
Prepare your grill for indirect cooking , medium heat (350 F to 375 F). Clean and oil the grill grates. Grill the wings on the indirect side of the grill, turning occasionally so they brown evenly, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
5
Gather the ingredients.
6
On a cutting board sprinkle a little salt on the minced garlic and mash together to form a paste.
7
Heat the oil and garlic together in a small saucepan over low heat until the garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
8
Whisk the oil and garlic with the lemon juice and thyme in a large, nonreactive baking dish or bowl (glass, ceramic, stainless steel, or enamel-lined) and set aside.
9
When wings have about 15 to 20 minutes cooking time left, remove them from grill, toss in the lemon-garlic sauce, and return to grill.
10
After another 10 minutes baste the wings with the remaining lemon-garlic sauce.
11
When the wings are cooked through, coat them one last time with the lemon-garlic sauce and serve.
