Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add your split chicken wings and drizzle them with oil. Sprinkle the dry rub over the wings and toss until evenly coated. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Fire up your grill and preheat it to medium-high heat (400–425℉).
  3. Place the wings directly over the heat and grill for 20–25 minutes, turning every 5–7 minutes until achieving a golden-brown color.
  4. Transfer the grilled wings to a serving platter and brush with BBQ sauce if desired. Serve with dipping sauces or a veggie platter.
