I know, crispy and grilled don’t always seem to go together but in this case they absolutely do! This is a recipe my sister-in-law Lisa shared with me at our Ormond family reunion. I am not sure where she got the recipe but I am sure glad we have it and she is allowing me to share with all of you! Jim and I disagree a little bit with wings. Mr. MCYM does not really care if the chicken wings are crispy BUT I don’t think it is a good wing without that crisp exterior crunch! Considering these are my new favorite wings, and they will be in our regular food rotation, I have a feeling he will grow to LOVE these as much as I do! We also have a slight difference with dipping sauce. With buffalo wings I like to have ranch dressing but Mr. MCYM is a true blue, blue cheese dressing fan! At my house these are now called Lisa’s Wings and I hope you give them a try!
NOTE- I think these would bake up the same in the oven if you bake them with a Bakers rack on top of a cookie sheet. I will try this next time and update when I do!
I have another recipe from the Ormond family reunion from my other sister-in-law Cindy, so stay tuned for more great party food!
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt
Pepper
wings (I used fresh, not frozen) use your desired amount
Frank’s Wing Sauce, enough to coat both sides of wings. I used over a cup
DIRECTIONS
Light your clean grill setting the heat level to LOW. Toss the wings in a bowl along with the olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Toss well. Place the wings on the grill and grill without touching them for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes turn the chicken wings over once and don’t touch them for another 30 minutes. After one hour, brush the top of the wings with the buffalo sauce and cook for five more minutes. Turn the wings , brush the second side with wing sauce and cook five more minutes. Remove from grill and serve warm with your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Enjoy,
