Chicken wings on Weber Charcoal Grill

Q: How do you grill chicken wings on a Weber grill?

Pre-heat SABER® grill to low-medium heat. Add chicken wings to the grill, and cook with lid open (if possible) until brown, crispy and cooked through (about 30 minutes) turning every 5-8 minutes. Set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes. Squeeze fresh lime juice over wings and serve hot!

Wings might be the most requested and favorite finger food for all game day grill outs. For good reason too! When I invite my friends and family over to watch the game, it’s not out of the ordinary to go through 100 to 150 wings in one day.

How do I make crispy wings on a charcoal grill?

When grilling wings, I always do them indirectly. I place all the wings on the outer rim of the grate with my charcoal in the middle. This creates the perfect environment for them to grill to perfection. Plus, it looks really cool and is a great conversation piece for everyone over!

I am often asked what type of sauce I use to wash my wings with because the flavor is so unique. I use one of my favorite buffalo, teriyaki, and barbecue sauces and make sure my wings are coated evenly. The blend of one of those flavors combined with crispy skin on the outside and juicy meat on the inside, is a win with each bite.

Feel free to take your favorite flavors and combine them together to create your own secret recipe for wings. The best part about grilling the perfect wings on my Weber each game day is that unlike my favorite sports teams, I always end the night with a win bite after bite!

Game Day Chicken Wings

Ingredients:
5 pounds total, each one cut in half at the joint, wing tips removed
1 bottle of your favorite buffalo, teriyaki or barbecue sauce
Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Light one full chimney of Weber Briquettes. Arrange two charcoal baskets facing back-to-back in the center of your fuel grate. Place your cooking grate on your grill. Close the lid and let the grill preheat until it reaches 425° - 450°F.

2. Lightly season the wings with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the wings around the perimeter of the grate. Grill the wings with the lid closed over indirect medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 20 to 25 minutes, turning once or twice.

3. Brush the wings with the sauce and grill until evenly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more, turning a few times. Remove the wings from the grill and serve immediately.

Instructions

Prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking over medium- high heat (220°C to 250°C).
Place the chicken wings in a plastic bag with the rice flour, salt, and pepper. Shake until well coated.
Shake the excess flour off the chicken wings and place them onto the barbecue (over the indirect zone), ensuring a small gap is left between each piece so the heat can circulate evenly around them.
Roast the chicken wings over indirect medium-high heat, with the lid closed, for 30 to 35 minutes or until they are cooked through. While the wings are cooking, mix all the blue cheese sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Microwave briefly until just warmed through.

Five minutes before the wings are cooked, combine the hot sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat the hot sauce on the side burner (or stove top) over low heat. Cook until the butter is completely melted and the sauce is just starting to bubble gently. Once the wings are cooked, coat in the hot sauce and serve immediately with the blue cheese sauce and celery sticks.
