Tailgating Menu Alert: Grilled Wings Recipe
Grilled wings are a necessary menu item during tailgating season (as well as year-round).
Wings are messy on any grill. The fats and juices don’t add fuel to your fire and stick around and sizzle and steam for juicier wings, not dried and burned. They make a great appetizer or main course surrounded by vegetables.
TIP: Low temp and cooking the wings slow is your best bet.
- 24 Wings
- Tony’s Seasoning (or your favorite)
- Preparation:
Thaw if possible, but wings can go on the grill semi-frozen. Dry with paper towel. - Liberally sprinkle Tony’s or your favorite spice or rub. Let stand 30 minutes before grilling.
- Set gas grills to medium 350F. Charcoal grillers spread coals evenly under grill on the downside of the coals.
- Disburse wings across the grates, close lid and come back in 15 minutes to rotate and move the wings.
- Check and move every 15 minutes. Grilling time 45-60 minutes.
- Cover with your favorite sauce (hot, mild, or BBQ)

Wow what a great tip! That sounds fantastic!
We like to steam our wings first, in small batches for about 10 min. then let place evenly on a paper towel lined baking sheet and place in fridge for an hour. Then put on the homemade rub & grill, followed by tossing in a homemade sauce. The steaming helps seal in juices making the meat very tender while you crisp up the outside on the grill.
