If you haven’t grilled chicken wings before, you absolutely need to start. To get you moving towards wing happiness, these parmesan dusted, lemon garlic chicken wings are here to help.
We marinate wings in what can only be described as one of the best chicken marinades, ever. Then they are grilled over low heat until the fat from the skin has rendered. They’re finished over high heat until the skin browns and chars just slightly. They are seriously good.

A+J Tips for the Best Grilled Wings
1. Marinate Your Chicken
This is the time to break out your favorite marinade (or use ours).
When we were dreaming up this lemony grilled chicken recipe, we went straight to one of our absolute favorite marinades. It’s got a ton of lemon, mustard and garlic — making it perfect for wings. We marinate the wings for at least 1 hour, but longer wouldn’t hurt. You could even marinate overnight if you wanted to.

Just look at that, is it making your mouth water?
By the way, we don’t bother to separate the drumstick from the “wingette” (or middle portion). If you are up to it, here’s a little tutorial with a quick video that we put together a while back showing you how to separate a chicken wing.
2. Start with Low, Indirect Heat
Wings are perfect on the grill since grilling takes full advantage of the high ratio of skin to meat. Start with low or indirect heat and place them skin-side up. Close the lid and leave them for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Finish with Direct Heat
Now that the skin and fat have rendered, grill the wings over high heat, turning occasionally, until golden brown and just slightly charred.
That’s it, simple right?
We like serving our wings generously dusted in parmesan cheese, because why wouldn’t you? A simple dipping sauce made from mayonnaise, a little mustard, lemon and hot sauce is nice, too.

Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken Wings Recipe Prep time 1 hour 20 minutes Total time 1 hour 40 minutes
2 pounds chicken wings 3 cloves garlic, crushed with the side of a large knife or minced Zest of 1 lemon, peeled or finely grated 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (1 to 2 lemons) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, we use kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano cheese for serving, optional 1/4 cup mayonnaise (try our homemade mayonnaise recipe) 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 3 to 6 dashes hot sauce (we love Cholula) Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare Chicken: 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.
Grill Chicken: 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. Dust wings with grated cheese and serve alongside dipping sauce.
Make Dipping Sauce: Combine mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice and hot sauce in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. We like to use both indirect and direct heat to grill wings. Here's how to set up your grill:
For a Gas Grill: Preheat the grill with all burners on high. Turn one side off or to low - this will be the side you start your wings. After the fat has rendered, move the wings to the side with burner still on.
For a Charcoal Grill: Bank most of the coals on one side of the grill. The side with little to no coals will be the side you start your wings. After the fat has rendered, move the wings to the side with more coals.
