2 Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
Method: Two-Zone Method
Temp: 350°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
3 The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
- Place the wings on the cool side of the grill and close the lid.
Turn the wings occasionally until they’re cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 175ºF, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the wings from the grill and toss them in the sauce to evenly coat.
- Remove the wings from the sauce and place them on the hot part of the grill.
Cook, turning often, for about 5 more minutes until the wings are glazed and browned.
- Remove from the grill and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately, with extra sauce if desired.
