Grilled Chicken Wings
These Grilled Chicken Wings are super delicious and really easy to make. They’re less messy than fried chicken wings too which makes them a winner. You can cook these on your oven grill or if the weather permits, you could grill them outside on your BBQ. I love the spicy dipping sauce that accompanies these wings too which has a lovely kick from the addition of horseradish and hot sauce.
To make these wings, start by preparing a spice mix made from lemon zest, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and cayenne. Coat the chicken wings in the spicy sauce and place them under a grill to cook for 15-20 minutes until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through. Serve with a dipping sauce made from mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, horseradish, chives, and hot sauce. Yum!
