Succulent Smothered Barbeque Grilled Chicken Wings

My mission: Find a recipe for the most succulent BBQ Chicken Wings and recreate it. Mission Accomplished!

My search for the most succulent, lick your fingers, oh-so-good barbeque chicken wings was successful! I have no idea why I was so worried about making them because they came out DELICIOUS!

I found a video on About.com Food by Chris Chmura that inspired me.  The wings were exactly what I was looking for.  They were smothered  in barbeque sauce and were nice and crispy. I followed his instruction for the most part but then added some of my own touches and got some help from the Grill Master himself, my husband.  Understandably, it is not 70 degrees everywhere so outdoor grilling isn't an option but you can make these wings just as crispy and delicious in the oven or by using an inside grill.

Smothered Barbeque Grilled Chicken Wings

You will need:

• Grill
• Chicken wings (I made 4 lbs. but you can make as many as you like.)
• 1-2 Tsp. of Olive Oil
• Salt and pepper to season wings
• 1 lb. of barbeque sauce (My favorites are Kraft Original and Sweet Baby Ray’s)
• Medium bowl
• Non-stick grill spray (optional)

Directions:

• Spray non-stick grill spray on the grill.

• Preheat the grill on medium temperature.

• Wash your chicken and pat it dry with a paper towel.

• Either hold the wing and carefully cut the chicken at the joint with a sharp knife into two pieces or you can cut the chicken wing into two parts by cutting the tip off the wing off and discarding it and then separating the chicken at the joint.  I like to tip of the wing so I kept half of them on. it is totally up to you.  

• Place the wings on a platter and drizzle olive oil over them. Season with salt and pepper, flip them over and lightly coat them with olive oil and season.

• Line up the wings on the grill and check back in 5 minutes.  It takes about 10-15 minutes for them to get crispy.

• In the meantime, pour a generous amount of barbeque sauce into your bowl and add more if you love your wings doused in barbeque sauce like I do.

• If you have a nice crisp, turn the wings over and set the timer for another 5 minutes.

• Throw the wings into the barbeque sauce covering them completely with the sauce and place them back on the grill.  

• Grill each side for about two minutes. Long enough to crisp them a little but not burn completely. 

• Plate your wings and get ready to sink your teeth into them!

Tomorrow, I will post the appetizer I mentioned on Wednesday so you can make it in time for Sunday's Big Game!
