How long? You’re going to hate this answer. Until they’re done. But let’s be more useful than that.
Aim for 45 minutes to an hour total. That’s with the indirect heat method. Don’t rush perfection. You can’t hurry love, and you can’t hurry wings.
Use a thermometer if you must. 165°F internal is the safe zone. But honestly? A good wiggle of the joint and a crispy, dark-golden skin tells you everything you need to know.
The Perfect Time And Temperature To Grill Chicken Wings For Optimal
The Sidekick Scramble
Your wings are sizzling. You have at least 30 minutes. What are you doing? Staring at them? No. Get a side dish going.
Throw some corn on the cob on the hot side. It gets a little char, a little smoke. It’s a simple, beautiful upgrade.
Or, slice some bell peppers and onions, toss them in oil, and throw them in a grill basket. They’ll cook alongside your wings, soaking up all that chickeny goodness.
