Whether you’re having a cookout or game day event, what better way to celebrate than with our Best Chicken Wing Recipes! These recipes can be adapted for any grill, oven or air fryer.

From fried and sauced wings to grilled and smoked versions, the chicken wing remains the go-to appetizer. Our best chicken wing recipes are delicious, and let’s face it, we all can use a little more crunchy, smoky goodness in our lives! Our wing recipes range from sweet and spicy to aromatic and savory and are anything but bland! 

As always, we recommend using a reliable instant-read thermometer when grilling. For tender, juicy chicken wings, try placing them in a chicken wing brine for 2-3 hours before cooking.

The perfect chicken wing doneness

To achieve the perfect doneness for both flavor and food safety, the wing should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. This will ensure that any harmful bacteria is killed off and keep the wings safe for consumption. However, to achieve a golden brown wing desired crispiness and a toothsome bite on the wing meat, aim for a doneness temperature of 175 degrees F. To check for doneness, insert a reliable instant-read meat thermometer in the thickest part of the wing. Avoid getting too close to the bone, as that can skew temperature readings.
