Cooking steps

1

Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels to help crisp the skin.
2

In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
3

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) for 5 minutes.
4

Arrange wings in a single layer on the grill grates. Grill for 10 minutes with the lid closed, then flip and grill another 10–12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
5

Move wings to indirect heat for the last 5 minutes to avoid burning, ensuring the skin gets crispy without drying the meat. Let rest briefly before serving.
