Ingredients
 

  • 8 chicken wings, arm and wing
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine, vinho verde or alvarino
  • 4 bay leaf
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 2-3 tbsp harissa spice

  • 1 9 x 12 baking dish or zip loc bag for marinating the wings

Instructions
 

Marinating the Wings

  • In a large shallow baking dish pour the wine, olive oil, salt, bay leaf, and garlic. Stir to combine.
  • Place the wings in the baking dish and toss so that the wings are covered in marinade.
  • Seasoning chicken wings with harissa spice for grilled chicken wings.
    Season the wings with the harissa spice. Tossing the wings to evenly coat.
  • Marinated in a Portuguese and Moroccan blend of seasonings these chicken wings are ready for the grill.
    Organize the wings so that they are as submerged in the marinade as possible.
  • Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

Grilling the Wings

  • Take the wings out of the refrigerator an hour before you plan to grill. This will bring them to room temperature and ensure more even cooking.
  • Light up the grill to high heat (assuming you are using a gas grill). Otherwise prepare a charcoal grill to reach a high temperature.
  • Once the grill is hot (200C/400F) place the wings on the grill over the high heat areas with the top of the wing facing down. Grill for 6 minutes.
  • Turn the wings over and grill for another 6 minutes.
  • The wings should have nice browning at this point with crispy skin. If the wings are not as crispy as you desire then turn the wing over again (top side down) and grill for another few minutes. Using a meat thermometer test the temperature of the wings. 165F / 74C is the targeted temperature for wings.
