How to Barbecue Hot Wings

Barbecued hot wings are a crowd-pleasing favorite and perfect for game day or any outdoor gathering. Here are the steps to follow to barbecue hot wings:

1. Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).

2. Season the wings: In a large mixing bowl, toss your chicken wings with your preferred seasoning. This can be a simple mix of salt and black pepper or your favorite BBQ rub.

3. Oil the grill grates: Use tongs to rub a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil over the grill grates to prevent sticking.

4. Grill the wings: Place the seasoned wings on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Turn the wings using tongs or a spatula to ensure they cook evenly.

5. Baste the wings: In the last few minutes of cooking, brush the wings with your favorite BBQ sauce or hot sauce, flipping them once or twice to coat them evenly.

6. Check the internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the wings has reached 165°F. This ensures the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat.

7. Rest and serve: Remove the wings from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the wings juicier and more flavorful.

8. Enjoy!: Serve your delicious hot wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as blue cheese or ranch dressing, and enjoy!
