A simple and delicious paleo-friendly recipe for crispy grilled chicken wings paired with a tangy, grain-free sauce. Perfect for quick weeknight meals or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  2. Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder over the wings. Toss again until every piece is well seasoned.
  3. Preheat the grill and set it up for indirect heat at around 350°F (175°C).
  4. Place the wings on the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat) skin-side down. Close the lid and cook for about 15 minutes.
  5. Flip the wings and cook for another 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until skin is crispy and golden brown.
  6. While wings grill, whisk together raw honey or maple syrup, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
  7. Move the wings over direct heat for 2-3 minutes per side to crisp up the skin further, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Transfer wings to a large bowl and toss gently with the grain-free sauce until evenly coated.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Use indirect heat first to cook through, then finish on direct heat to crisp skin. Toss wings in sauce right before serving to keep skin crispy. If no grill is available, bake at 425°F (220°C) on a wire rack for 40-45 minutes or use a grill pan.
