Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats separated)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 1 cup JD's Smokin Hot BBQ Sauce
- Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Chicken Wings:**
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and cayenne pepper if using.
- Ensure the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Cover the bowl and let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
2. **Grill the Wings:**
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the wings on the grill in a single layer.
- Grill the wings for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For extra crispy skin, increase the heat to high for the last 2-3 minutes of grilling.
3. **Toss in JD's Smokin Hot BBQ Sauce:**
- Once the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
- Pour JD's Smokin Hot BBQ Sauce over the wings and toss them well to ensure each wing is fully coated with the sauce.
4. **Serve:**
- Garnish the wings with freshly chopped parsley or chives if desired.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces and sides like celery sticks, carrot sticks, and ranch or blue cheese dressing.
