Grilled Chicken Wings

Grilled chicken wings over an open flame come out juicy with a crisp crust, thanks to a honey-mustard marinade with onion. Marinating overnight is best, but even half a day gives great results, and the wings grill over fruit-wood coals. I recommend kicking off grilling season with these - enjoy!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 1 kg chicken wings
• 3 onions
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp honey
• 50 g mustard
• 20 g grilling spice mix
• vinegar to acidify the water

Method

 

1. Put the wings in a bowl and coat each one generously with mustard. Add the spices and salt, then add the honey and water acidified with vinegar.
2. Slice the onion into rings and add it to the meat. Mix well by hand, cover and let it marinate somewhere cool - ideally overnight, though I go with half a day.
   
3. Prepare the grill: load wood (I use fruit wood) or ready-made charcoal and let it burn down to hot coals.
4. Place the meat and onion on the grill rack and cook on both sides, turning often for even cooking.
   
5. Remove the finished wings from the grill and serve. Enjoy!
   

Tips

• Marinating: ideally overnight, but even half a day in the fridge or a cool cellar gives good results.
• Wood: fruit wood works great and gives a mild aroma; ready-made charcoal works too.
• Grilling: turn the grate often so the meat cooks evenly.
