GRILLED SPICY PARMESAN WINGS

Summer is so close! I can taste it.

Literally.

Summer food favorites: keyword: grill.

Grillz. Grilla. However you want to put it. It's my favorite summer word. Everything is so much better off the grill. And one of my grill favorites; Wings. 

First things first. Make sure you ask your butcher to:

a) Cut the tips off

b) Separate the wing.

When you're buying wings, they are packaged with the entire chicken wing, and there are few things more painful than trying to slice and separate the wings yourself. Trust.

Next: Season.

mmm. Another good word.

I use: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and just to make it weird different, Parmesan Cheese! It's my version of a secret ingredient. Except I am telling you. But really, use it.

For good flavor, I also pour over some Texas Pete hot sauce. That's the good stuff.

Toss all of this together in a box mixing bowl.

Glorious.

Let them rest while you heat up the grill. Be sure that you spray your grill with some sort of cooking spray. Second most painful thing: when you go to flip your wings, and you leave skin behind because it's stuck to the grill. Not cool.

No skin left behind.

Once your grill is hot, throw the bad boys on there. 

Flip every five minutes. I like to leave mine on until they get real pretty grill marks. 

I swear food tastes better when it's pretty.

Once they're done, toss them in more hot sauce.

And you've got yourself these beauties to munch on. I paired mine with french fries. I love making these when I have friends over, not only are they a crowd pleaser, but it's so easy to make a big quantity!

ENJOY!
