Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken wings separated into flats and drumettes
  • Spray avocado oil
  • 2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper 1 tsp for dry rub, 1 tsp for sauce
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or ghee
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  •  

Instructions

  • Remove wings from the refrigerator and pat down with paper towels
  • Spray lightly with avocado oil or brush on a light layer of oil with a food bush
  • Combine 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder in a small bowl
  • Season wings on all sides with the seasoning mixture
  • Preheat grill to med-high heat
  • Place seasoned wings on the warm grill - if your grill runs hot and you are seeing a lot of flames flare up, reduce the heat. We don't want to burn the wings
  • Cook the wings for 15-20 minutes in a closed grill rotating every 3 minutes - the constant rotation will allow the skin to crisp without burning
  • Remove the wings from the grill when the internal temp reaches 170F
  • While the wings are still warm from the grill prepare the sauce by combining melted butter or ghee, lemon juice, lemon zest, dijon mustard and 1 tsp cracked pepper in a small bowl
  • Toss the wings in this sauce and enjoy! You can use the excess sauce for dipping as you eat
