Grilled vs Oven Baked Wings

Some Canadians enjoy grilling all winter. They make elaborate set-ups moving the barbecue inches from their patio door and creatively drape extension cords from afar to provide the light needed to cook in the dark. It may sound like an endurance test but there is something about the taste of grilled food that people love.

For the fair weather barbecuers this is the time to cook everything and anything on the grill. Some of your family favourite chicken recipes are transferable to chicken wings and cooking on the grill. See some of my favourite chicken recipes, cooked inside in winter and outside in summer, at the bottom of this post.

Best Method for Cooking Wings

If crispy wings is what you are after then try this method. When my teenage son wanted to learn to eat more heat we experimented with chicken wing recipes and this is now our Go To method. Sprinkling the raw wings with baking powder and spices creates a crispy coating as they cook. The wings can be served right off the grill with sauce on the side for dipping or simply toss them in a big bowl with the sauce and enjoy. Finger lickin’ good!

The Grilling Sheet

When I discovered this cool invention I wrote a post about the Reusable Grilling Sheet. The idea is brilliant; a heat-resistant, reusable sheet that goes on top of the grill yet still allows food to brown. Wash and reuse. Cut to any size you need. This is the perfect invention for people concerned about cross contamination. Read more about them in that post or just go buy a few at the barbecue store, kitchen store or Amazon and buy quality.
