Barbecue chicken wings are so popular nowadays you can have them at almost any bar or restaurant. Chicken wings were first served at a bar in Buffalo New York in 1964 hence the name 'Buffalo Wings'.

There are so many variations of chicken wings from hot and spicy to sweet and savoury. They are normally served as a tasty appetizer or delicious snack.

Preparation

Try purchasing wings that have already been cut and prepared and had the wing tips removed. Otherwise you will need to do it yourself which is really time consuming. Simply remove the tips of the wings with a knife. The remaining piece needs to be cut in half.

Once you have cut the chicken wings rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. When it comes to marinating and seasoning you can use your imagination and try many different flavours.

Use marinates like honey, hot sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar and BBQ sauce. Try combine sweet and sour flavours for a unique sweet and sour sauce. Combine Tabasco and hot sauces for hot and spicy wings. Brown sugar and honey create tasty sweet flavour. One of my favourite sauces for chicken wings is melted blue cheese sauce, simple melt the cheese in the microwave and use it a dip for your wings.

Barbecuing

Pre-heat your grill to a medium heat and lightly coat the grill grid with some olive oil or cook and spray.

They don't take long to cook normally done between 6 - 10 minutes. Keep turning the wings over frequently to prevent them from burning.

Grill the wings the way you like some prefer them to be medium or quite crispy. Keep basting a marinate over to prevent them from drying out.

Serve your wings straight away after grilling, as this is when they are the most delicious.
