Grilled Maple Mesquite Chicken Wings
Sweet, spicy, and oh so simple. These chicken wings are only two ingredients, but are incredibly delicious.
Yield: 1 dozen whole chicken wings
Preparation Instructions:
Rinse wins in cold water. Pat wings dry and coat thoroughly with spice rub.
For charcoal grill:
Situate coals so you have two heat zones; high heat and low heat. Grill wings over low heat for the first portion of cooking time with the lid closed, turn after 5-7 minutes. When wings have cooked most of the way, finish them over the hot coals to give them a nice final char. This will also help caramelize the sugar in the spice blend. Wings are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165F.
For gas grill:
Grill over medium-high heat with the lid closed, flipping wings every five minutes or so. Remove from grill once internal temperature reaches 165F.

More About This Recipe
Whole wings are easier to manage on a grill, but you can slice these into drums and flaps if desired. If you do not have a grill you can make these easily in the oven. Bake at 350 F on a raised rack for 20 mins, finish under the broiler to get the skin crispy and sugar in the spice blend caramelized.
