These grilled chicken wings are a simple, flavorful recipe our family has made the same way for over 15 years, proving that less really is more when it comes to great wings. Seasoned with sazon, steak seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce, they’re grilled over indirect heat until juicy with crispy skin and can be served dry or finished with your favorite BBQ sauce.
Clean the chicken wings by removing any excess fat or stray feathers, then pat completely dry with paper towels.
Place wings in a large bowl or foil, add the sazon packets, steak seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce, and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate the wings for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop.
Remove wings from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes while you preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grill grate if needed.
Using tongs, place wings on the indirect heat side of the grill. Grill for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the soft spot near the bone. Transfer to a pan or baking sheet and serve dry for crispy skin, or toss with BBQ sauce if desired.
