Instructions
Marinade the Chicken Wings 4-24 hours

- Add the chicken wings and stir to coat all surfaces. Cover (or throw it all in a zip lock bag) and refrigerate. Marinate 4-24 hours.
Cook the Wings
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Drain the marinade from the wings and discard. Grill the wings, turning, periodically, 12-15 minutes, until the skin is crisp and golden and the chicken is cooked through.
