1-Start by getting your grill ready set it to medium heat at 350°F for even cooking. In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients like light brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then stir well. Pat the wings dry and coat them evenly with this mixture, pressing it into the skin for maximum flavor.

2-Next, oil the grill grate with grapeseed oil to keep things from sticking. Lay the wings in a single layer and grill for 10 minutes, then flip and cook another 10 minutes until they hit 165°F inside. Let them rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes to lock in juices and ensure they’re cooked just right.

3-If the wings start to burn, move them away from direct heat or drop the temperature to 300°F. For a fun twist, try a barbecue variation by brushing on sauce during the last 2 minutes. This whole process takes about 45 minutes total, with 25 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of cooking, serving 2 people easily.

5-Tips for Adjusting Heat Watch the flames closely to avoid flare-ups, which can happen with sugary rubs. Use indirect heat if needed for a gentler finish. This keeps the skin crispy without any mishaps.
