14 Grilled Chicken Wing Recipes That Are Completely Irresistible

Whether you’re tailgating a big game or enjoying a backyard barbecue, grilled chicken wings are a delicious finger food that can be enjoyed any time of year. Best of all, this lightened-up version of everyone’s favorite appetizer is easier to make than the classic fried version—and doesn't require you to heat up your kitchen the way oven-baked wings do. Want to give them a try? We've got all the recipes you need, starting with Eddie's must-try take. His grilled chicken wings get a generous coating of flavorful dry rub before being grilled over medium heat. The Cajun seasoning adds a zippy kick, while fresh parsley and lemon zest add brightness and acidity. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is.

This easy recipe can be ready in just 35 minutes, thanks to the use of a hot grill. Though the conventional wisdom is to give meat plenty of space while grilling, in this case you’ll actually want to crowd the wings together so they’re all touching. The crowding creates steam, which helps cook the wings thoroughly while keeping them moist and juicy on the inside.

Steam is key in this recipe in this recipe that uses foil packets set over a hot grill. By cooking the chicken in sealed foil packets, the steam released helps the meat cook thoroughly, while resulting in juicy, moist and flavorful wings. Serve with chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice for extra flavor.

Chimichurri—a celebrated Argentinian sauce—is the perfect accompaniment to juicy, crispy chicken wings. First marinate the wings in paprika, then sear them on a hot grill until crispy and cooked through. Serve with the homemade chimichurri for a flavorful spin on the classic wing recipe.
