Who doesn’t LOVE a chicken wing?! This recipe is great for wings at home without all the mess of deep frying. Blanch the chicken wings in salted boiling water first to cook the wings all the way through and to render the fat out of the skin. This prevents the flabby fatty chicken skin feel in your mouth. AND the blanch can TOTALLY be done a day ahead! Then crisp up the wings on the grill and brush with sauce. Perfectly cooked, grilled and saved. EVERY TIME!!!
