A delicious twist on classic grilled chicken wings, featuring a honey beer glaze for a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Drying the wings ensures the marinade adheres better.
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, light beer, salt, and ground black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Add the chicken wings to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Turning the wings occasionally helps them absorb the marinade evenly.
Heat a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent burning.
Add the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, dry mustard, and red pepper flakes to the saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes until the glaze thickens.
Keep stirring to avoid sticking to the pan.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Oiling the grates prevents the wings from sticking.
Remove the wings from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Ensure the wings are cooked through by checking the internal temperature.
Brush the wings with the prepared glaze during the last 5 minutes of grilling.
Apply multiple layers for a richer flavor.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a dipping sauce for added flavor.
