Notes
For wings with a bit of a kick, consider adding a touch of cayenne pepper to your marinade. Grilling baskets can make handling the veggies even easier, preventing smaller pieces from falling through the grates. When paired with a cool, crisp summer salad or a tangy dipping sauce, these wings and veggies truly shine. For drink pairings, consider a zesty lemonade or a cold craft beer. And remember, always let your wings sit a few minutes after grilling – it locks in the juicy goodness. Enjoy!
