Ingredients

1 kg Chicken wings tips removed and joints separated
2 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
1 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Black pepper freshly ground
150 g BBQ sauce
3 tbsp Runny Honey
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, wait until the coals are ashed over and glowing.
Toss the chicken wings in olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Place the wings on the grill in a single layer and cook for about 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until evenly browned and slightly charred at the edges.
Meanwhile, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. In the final 5 minutes of cooking, brush the glaze onto the wings, turning and basting often to build up a sticky layer.
Remove from the grill once the internal temperature reaches 75°C. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving so the glaze sets and doesn’t drip straight off.
