Diva Q Ultimate Crispy Wings (No Deep Fryer Needed)
15 mins prepServes 4
Achieve incredibly crispy chicken wings on your grill with just a few simple ingredients, perfect for game day or any occasion. This recipe from Diva Q uses baking powder and salt to create a crunchy skin without the need for a deep fryer.
When you take your wings out of the package, pat them down with lots of paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Mix the salt and the baking powder together. Lay the wings out on a mesh baking rack, making sure to leave room in between each wing. Using a fine mesh sifter, sprinkle the salt and powder mixture evenly over all the wings. Flip the wings over and coat the other side as well; they should be completely coated and white. Preheat your grill to 225°F using your favorite wood pellets (hickory was used in this recipe). Place the mesh rack full of wings on the grill for one hour. If your wings are large, you may want to cook them at this temperature for 1.5 to 2 hours. Then, increase your grill temperature to 400°F. Continue to grill until the internal temperature of the wings reaches a minimum of 180°F. For even crispier wings, take them to just around 200°F to 205°F internal temperature. After cooking, toss the crispy wings in your favorite BBQ sauce and return them to the grill for just a couple of minutes to set the sauce.
