Wing Wednesdays: Peach and Jalapeno Jam Glazed Grilled Chicken Wings

Labor Day was anything but that at Chez Lolly.  I took a very rare, stay at home and do (almost) nothing) day.  Mid-afternoon, I decided it was time for some nibbles and fired up the gas grill for some wings. You can simply grill the seasoned wings like I did below, OR you can continue the deliciousness by brushing with a spicy jelly or peach and jalapeno jam.  The sweet spicy stickiness of the jam took these wings over the top.

2 1/2 - 3 lbs. chicken wings, separated and tips removed

granulated garlic

granulated onion

sea salt

freshly ground black pepper

Place the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet and liberally season both sides of the chicken.

Preheat gas grill on high until the temp reaches 500 degrees F. or prepare a charcoal grill.  When the grill is ready, place wings onto grill grates allowing ample room between the wings. Reduce the heat to medium.

Allow wings to cook, turning them over frequently with tongs until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.  You could stop at this step and have an amazing place of wings!

But.......why would you?

I moved all the wings to one side of the grill and placed a grill mat on top of the grates and reduced the heat to low.  I had recently canned some peach and jalapeno jam. Using a silicone brush, I glazed the wings with the jam and let them cook for another two or three minutes before turning them over and repeating the glaze on the opposite side.

Aren't these beautiful?
