Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Prepare a two-zone charcoal fire, ensuring one side has high heat and the other has no coals.
Toss the Chicken ingredients in a bowl, then coat evenly with the combined Rub ingredients.
Sear the wings over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side until charred, then move to the indirect zone.
Cover the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 175°F for a crispy finish.
