Best Grilled Chicken Wings With Provencal Flavors Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE, MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade, combine the onion, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and spices. Pulse until well combined into a thick marinade.
• Season the chicken wings well with Kosher salt and put them in a zip top bag. Pour the marinade over and zip the bag shut. Massage the bag a bit to distribute the marinade.
• Lay the bag of wings flat on a large plate or tray. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, turning the bag over once midway through.
• Heat a gas grill to 425 degrees F and lightly oil the grates.
• Shake off excess marinate then arrange the wings over direct heat. Cover the grill and cook the wings for 15 to 20 minutes, turning over every 5 minutes, until they are fully cooked through. Grill the lemons, flesh side down.
• Serve the wings immediately with the grilled lemons. And squeeze the lemons all over to your liking. Add your favorite sauce for dipping (I like the coolness of Tzatziki yogurt cucumber sauce).

GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS WITH PROVENçAL FLAVORS

Steps:

• Start a gas or charcoal grill; fire should be moderately hot and rack about 6 inches from heat source. Keep part of grill cooler for indirect cooking.
• In a small bowl, combine a sprinkle of salt and pepper with herbs. Add enough olive oil to make a paste. Loosen skin of chicken and slide a bay leaf between skin and meat, then insert a portion of herb mixture. Push skin back onto flesh and sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper.
• Start chicken on cool side of grill. After some fat has been rendered, turn chicken; if it flares up, move it to an even cooler part of fire. When skin has lost its raw look and most fat has been rendered, no more than 15 minutes, move chicken directly over fire. Cook until both sides are nicely browned and flesh is firm and cooked through, another 5 to 10 minutes.
• Serve hot, warm or at room temperature, with lemon wedges. (Bay leaf is not edible.)

GRILLED BUNDT-PAN PROVENCAL CHICKEN WITH ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Rub the chicken all over, including the cavity with 1 tablespoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight; bring the chicken to room temperature 30 minutes before grilling.
• Put the potatoes in a large nonstick skillet and cover with water by 1/2 inch. Season with enough salt to taste like seawater. Bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer. Simmer potatoes until mostly cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Put the par-cooked potatoes in the bundt pan, along with the 3 smashed garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine.
• Mix together the lemon zest with the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence and the clove grated garlic in a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry and spread a little of the oil mixture under the skin of the breasts and thighs. Brush or rub the rest all over the chicken. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper. Place the chicken cavity over the middle of the Bundt pan so that the chicken is sitting upright on top of the potatoes.
• Carefully put the Bundt pan on the indirect side of the grill, with the back of the chicken facing the hotter side. Cover and cook for about 40 minutes. Carefully rotate the Bundt pan so that the breast is facing the hotter side of the grill, and give the potatoes a quick stir for even cooking. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone) reads at least 165 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes more. Remove from the grill and let rest 20 minutes before carving.
• Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to a serving dish. Remove the pieces of garlic. Check for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Strain the fat and liquid in the bottom of the Bundt pan into a small saucepan, then spoon out most of the fat. Heat up the remaining liquid just enough to warm through. Squeeze in some lemon juice to taste and stir in the parsley. Serve the potatoes on the side and the cooking liquid drizzled over the carved chicken.

CHIPOTLE-LIME CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into 3 sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
• Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill, and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the wings cook, combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons chopped chipotles in adobo (include some of the sauce), 3 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides.

GRILL MASTER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, Italian dressing, and chicken wings in a large, zip-top bag. Close bag and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the 1 teaspoon soy sauce and the hot pepper sauce. Turn off heat and reserve.
• Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and pat dry. Cook the wings on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the chicken is well browned and no longer pink, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Place grilled wings in a large bowl. Pour butter sauce over wings; toss to mix well.
