Made this recipe?
A classic, creamy ranch dressing packed with fresh herbs. Perfect for salads, dips, or drizzling over grilled meats and vegetables.
Prepare the Wings
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to help them crisp up on the grill. In a large bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. Add the chicken wings and drizzle with olive oil, then toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated in the spice rub.
Grill the Wings
Place the wings on the preheated grill over direct heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure they cook evenly and don't burn. The wings are done when the skin is crisp and golden, and the meat is cooked through.
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the wings from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat. Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce.
