With Super Bowl LX less than a month away, we’re already preparing for the best part of the whole day—the food. We can already envision it now: a giant spread full of delicious creamy dips, poppable sliders, loaded potato skins, and more. But the pièce de résistance of any Super Bowl spread is undoubtedly the chicken wing.
Baked, fried, or grilled, barbecue, lemon pepper, or Buffalo—there’s no wrong way to enjoy a delicious chicken wing. But like so many things in life, chicken wings are easy to make, but hard to perfect. That is, until you try this recipe.
Allrecipes member PartyFil-Grillmaster shared the recipe for the Grill Master Chicken Wings, which have a nearly perfect 4.8-star rating on our website. They are made with a simple two-ingredient marinade, grilled, then tossed on a crave-worthy sauce. The result? A “mouthwatering-lick-the-bones-clean-and-fight-for-the-last-wing” taste, according to reviewer SeattleFarmersMarketGirl.
So if you’re looking to impress your friends and family for the Super Bowl or want an incredible recipe for your repertoire, give these chicken wings a go. If you’re anything like the over 500 Allrecipes member who rated this recipe five stars, you’re going to love it!
How To Make Grill Master Chicken Wings
Can you believe these delicious wings only call for five ingredients? Each one plays a major role in developing the dynamic flavor of these grilled wings. And it starts with a two-ingredient marinade.
For every three pounds of chicken wings, make marinade with half a cup of soy sauce and half a cup of Italian-style salad dressing. Let the chicken wings and marinade mingle in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or up to overnight.
When you’re ready to start cooking, oil your grill grates and preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high. These can also be baked (details below) if you don’t want to fuss with the grill. Before you pop the wings on the grill, pat them dry with paper towel and discard any marinade.
Now, get to grilling! PartyFil-Grillmaster suggests about 25–30 minutes on the grill, but that time may change depending on the size of your chicken wings—just make sure the wings reach 165 degrees F.
As the wings grill, make the spicy finishing sauce in a small sauce pan. Combine 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of hot pepper sauce (Frank’s RedHot is a popular choice) and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce. Smother the grilled chicken wings in the butter sauce and you are ready to serve!
Tips & Adjustments
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
- Set the sauce: Allrecipes member Janet suggested basting the chicken wings with the second sauce after grilling, but popping them back on the grill for a few minutes to “set” the sauce, thicken and warm it.
- Add a touch of sweetness: A handful of reviewers added honey or brown sugar to either the marinade or finishing sauce to add a sweet hint to the grilled smokey wings.
- Bake ’em: No grill, no problem. Allrecipes member Shannon Smith-Parke suggests baking them in the oven at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes, then popping them under the broiler for a minute or two to develop some dark color.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce: This makes sense if you have a salt sensitivity or find the marinade too salty.
- Try a different cut of chicken: Some reviewers liked the marinade and sauce for this recipe so much, they used it on other cuts of chicken such as chicken thighs or breasts.
