Ingredients:

For the Brined Wings (Optional):

• 1/2 cup kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 1 bay leaf
• 3 pounds chicken wings, tips discarded and wings split
• Water as needed for the brine

For the Dry Rub:

• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup sweet paprika
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated onion
• 3/4 tablespoon black pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon dry sage
• 1/2 tablespoon dry mustard
• 1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• Canola oil for brushing
• Lime wedges for serving (optional)

Directions:

1. Brine the Wings (Optional): In a large saucepan, combine the brine ingredients with 2 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar and salt dissolve. Let cool to room temperature. Submerge the chicken wings in the brine, cover, and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

2. Prepare the Dry Rub: Mix all the dry rub ingredients together in a medium bowl.

3. Heat the Grill: Preheat your Arteflame Grill to 350-450°F. Use the water test to find the hottest part of the grill.

4. Season the Wings: After brining, pat the wings dry. Brush lightly with canola oil, then thoroughly coat each wing with the dry rub mixture.

5. Grill the Wings: Place the seasoned wings on the grill. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they are charred and fully cooked through, about 15 minutes.

6. Serve: Offer your delicious wings hot off the grill with optional lime wedges for an added citrus zing.
