Ingredients

3 pounds chicken wings
2 teaspoons thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon white or black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon bouillon powder (or replace with salt)
2 teaspoons brown sugar (optional)
2-3 tablespoons cooking oil (for drizzling)

Sauces

Instructions

Wash the chicken wings and dry them with a paper towel. (If you have time, you can allow them to air dry in the fridge.)
In a small bowl, combine thyme, salt, onion and garlic powder, paprika, white and cayenne pepper, bouillon powder, and brown sugar.
Place the chicken in a large plate or bowl, lightly salt, then mix with spice blend and drizzle with oil (to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill).
When ready to grill, wipe down the grill and lightly oil—preheat to medium heat. Or, if using charcoal, fill it half full. Then light it up for about 20 or more minutes before.
Place chicken wings on the grill.
Let them grill for approximately 20-30 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes or so until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them because the grill tends to flare up. (Try to move them around a bit to prevent flare-ups.)

Notes

Make sure to dry the chicken well with a paper towel to ensure crispier skin.
Lightly oil the grilling surface to prevent flare-ups and the wings from sticking to the grill and keep a close eye on it.
