preview for You Should Be Grilling Your Wings This Summer

We've fried our chicken wings and we've baked our chicken wings and yes we've air fried our chicken wings. but there's a special place in our heart for these super easy grilled chicken wings. What they might lack in the super crisp nature of fried wings, they make up for in smokiness, beautiful grill marks and convenience!

They cook up fast (like, 15 to 20 minutes fast), they're coated in a seriously delicious spice rub, and they've got a zingy dipping sauce you'll want to eat with everything. If possible we recommend grilling these over charcoal to add a bit more flavor and smoke that you can't achieve with a gas grill. (Though truly these are unreal either way)!

Not a fan of horseradish? Sub in minced sweet onion, roughly chopped capers, or a splash of your favorite hot sauce.

And if you made these, let us know how they went in the comment section below!
