Grilling chicken wings typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the grill temperature and wing size.
- Preheat your grill to around 350°F to 425°F. A hotter grill (around 425°F) crisps the skin nicely
- Place the wings on the grill and cook for 15-25 minutes total, flipping every 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning
- The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F for safety, but many prefer cooking wings to 170-175°F for more tender meat that pulls away from the bone easily
- If using a two-zone grill, you can start wings over direct heat to brown them, then move to indirect heat to finish cooking without burning
- Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness by inserting it into the thickest part of the wing
In summary, grill chicken wings for about 20-30 minutes over medium to medium- high heat, flipping frequently, until they reach an internal temperature of 165-175°F and have crispy, browned skin
