PREP TIME: 15 minutes

COOK TIME: 20 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes

SERVINGS: 8 servings

INGREDIENTS:

2 pounds Chicken Wings, split at first joint, remove wing tip if desired

2 tablespoons packed Brown Sugar

4 teaspoons Lemon Pepper Seasoning

1 teaspoon Sea Salt

1 1/2 teaspoon Granulated Onion

1 1/2 teaspoon Granulated Garlic

1 1/2 teaspoon Sweet Paprika

1/2 - 1 teaspoon Ancho Chili Powder, (optional) if you like spicy go with 1 teaspoon of Ancho

1 Lemon, cut into wedges

1 teaspoon Italian Parsley, garnish

DIRECTIONS:

1. Measure all ingredients except the wings into a small mixing bowl and thoroughly mix to fully incorporate spices. *Be careful with the ancho powder. It adds a nice kick to the wings, but if you are not into heat, leave it out.

2. Toss the chicken wings with the seasonings to coat the wings with a generous amount of the dry rub.

3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (350 degrees Fahrenheit - 400 degrees Fahrenheit). *Don't get the grill too hot. The wings will burn.

4. Place the seasoned wings on the grill allowing them to cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. Turn the wings, the sugar in the dry rub can cause the wings to char.

5. Move the chicken wings to indirect heat and continue to cook with the lid closed for another 8-10 minutes. *Indirect heat is heat on the side of the food being cooked, with the area directly under the food turned off.

6. Serve the wings with lemon wedges and squeeze a little lemon juice on the wings as you eat them. You can also serve the wings with blue cheese or ranch dressing.

NOTES:

**If you are not sure the wings are done, use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the wings. It should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
