Lemon Pepper Grilled Chicken Wings

Step 1

Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper, vinegar, oil, and salt in a gallon size zip-lock bag. Close and shake to mix.

Step 2

Add chicken wings and drumettes to the bag. Push out most of the air and close the bag. Spread the marinade and wings evenly in the bag. Place it on a large plate and refrigerate overnight.

Step 3

Set the coals to the lowest level, farthest away from the grilling surface so that the outside of the wings don’t cook too fast. Get the grill temperature to about 350 degrees.

Step 4

Grease the veggie basket with some cooking spray and place wings on it. Spread them out in one even layer.

Step 5

Cook wings with the grill lid closed but check often to rotate and flip the wings to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Depending on thickness of the wings and drumettes, they should take about 20-25 minutes to cook. The very small drumettes will be ready faster, so take them off or move the off the coal side.

Step 7

**Note: if you wish, save the marinade after the wings are done and simmer it for a few minutes. Use the cooked marinade as dipping sauce for the wings.
