Marinade

Wood Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken Wings

    Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are coated evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare a two-zone fire.

  2. 4

    Add Wood Chips

    Drain the wood chips and sprinkle them over the hot coals or place them in a smoker box if using a gas grill. This will create smoke for flavor.

  3. 5

    Grill the Wings

    Place the marinated chicken wings on the grill over direct heat. Grill for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally until they are cooked through and have a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Wings

    Remove the grilled wings from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Transfer them to a serving platter.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the grilled wings with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
