Tip:
If you’ve grilled chicken wings on your barbecue before, you know it can
be challenging to rotate them to cook evenly. An easy trick to fix this
is to use kebab skewers (metal is best) through both ends of the of the
chicken wing (as pictured). If using bamboo, make sure to soak in hot
water for at least 30 minutes before using. It takes extra time to prepare,
but this method allows you to easily flip multiple wings at once.
