After 12-15 minutes turn wings using tongs and cook for an additional 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown. For extra crispy skin, put wings under the broiler. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!If Grilling: Spray or brush grill with oil to reduce sticking and place wings in a single layer directly on grill at medium high temperature. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until one side is golden brown and cooked through. Then turn wings with tongs and cook for another 8-10 minutes approximately, until wings are golden brown.
