Lemon Pepper Grilled Chicken Wings Recipes

LEMON-GARLIC-PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into 3 sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
• Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill, and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the wings cook, combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl.
• When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides.

Steps:

• Combine garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken wings, seal bag, and turn to coat. Chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Prepare grill for indirect heat. Remove wings from marinade and place, skin-side-up on grill. Cover grill and cook until fat has rendered and an instant-read thermometer reads close to 165º F, about 10 minutes.
• Move the wings over direct heat. Grill, turning occasionally, until wings are golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 10 minutes. Stay close to watch for the occasional flare up. If this happens, move the wings to a slightly cooler part of the grill.
• Make dipping sauce by combining mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice and hot sauce in a small bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Dust the grilled wings with grated cheese and serve alongside dipping sauce.

• Brush the grill grates lightly with oil. Place the chicken wings on the grill in an even layer and cover with the lid. Cook, flipping occasionally, until well browned and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the parsley, lemon zest and juice, remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in another large bowl until combined.
• Transfer the wings to the bowl with the Cajun lemon pepper seasoning and toss until evenly coated. Arrange on a large serving platter.

LEMON PEPPER GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper, vinegar, oil, and salt in a gallon size zip-lock bag. Close and shake to mix.
• Add chicken wings and drumettes to the bag. Push out most of the air and close the bag. Spread the marinade and wings evenly in the bag. Place it on a large plate and refrigerate overnight.
• Set the coals to the lowest level, farthest away from the grilling surface so that the outside of the wings don't cook too fast. Get the grill temperature to about 350 degrees.
• Grease the veggie basket with some cooking spray and place wings on it. Spread them out in one even layer.
• Cook wings with the grill lid closed but check often to rotate and flip the wings to ensure even cooking.
• Depending on thickness of the wings and drumettes, they should take about 20-25 minutes to cook. The very small drumettes will be ready faster, so take them off or move the off the coal side.
• **Note: if you wish, save the marinade after the wings are done and simmer it for a few minutes. Use the cooked marinade as dipping sauce for the wings.

GRILLED LEMON-GARLIC WINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, mix the salt, sugar and water together, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolves.
• Put wings in a 1 gallon resealable bag with the brine and allow to marinate in fridge for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Discard brine, rinse the wings briefly with cold water, and pat them dry with paper towels.
• Prepare your grill for indirect cooking , medium heat (350 F to 375 F). Clean and oil the grill grates. Grill the wings on the indirect side of the grill, turning occasionally so they brown evenly, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
• Gather the ingredients.
• On a cutting board sprinkle a little salt on the minced garlic and mash together to form a paste.
• Heat the oil and garlic together in a small saucepan over low heat until the garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk the oil and garlic with the lemon juice and thyme in a large, nonreactive baking dish or bowl (glass, ceramic, stainless steel, or enamel-lined) and set aside.
• When wings have about 15 to 20 minutes cooking time left, remove them from grill, toss in the lemon-garlic sauce, and return to grill.
• After another 10 minutes baste the wings with the remaining lemon-garlic sauce.
• When the wings are cooked through, coat them one last time with the lemon-garlic sauce and serve.
