Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon piment d'Espelette (or mild chili powder)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, piment d'Espelette, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 3

Cover and marinate the wings in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F to 400°F).

Step 5

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the wings on the grill in a single layer. Grill for 10-12 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the wings are golden brown and have a slight char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.

Step 7

During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the wings with lemon juice for a fresh, tangy finish.

Step 8

Transfer the grilled wings to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Basque Wings!
