A white plate filled with grilled chicken wings sits on a dark wooden table outdoors, with some grass visible in the background. The wings are golden brown with charred, crispy edges.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3-4 lbs. chicken wings
  • 2 cups pickle juice (I prefer a spicy pickle juice)
  • 3-4 sprigs fresh dill weed
  • 2 tbsps. Cajun seasoning
  • 1 cup vinegar BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp. Cajun seasoning

Instructions

  • In an airtight container, combine the wings, pickle juice (including the pickles, if desired), and dill weed.
  • Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to marinate.
  • Remove the wings from the marinade and arrange them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  • Pat them dry with paper towels, then return them to the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
  • Preheat your grill to 375°-400° and set it up for indirect heat.
  • Remove the wings from the refrigerator and season both sides evenly with Cajun seasoning.
  • Lightly spray the grill grates with nonstick spray, then arrange the wings without overcrowding.
  • Close the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the wings are golden in color, then flip.
  • While the wings continue cooking, prepare the sauce.
  • Place it in a grill-safe bowl and warm it on the grill for about 5 minutes, just until it begins to gently simmer.
  • Brush the wings with the sauce and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 200°.
  • Remove from the grill and allow the wings to cool slightly before serving.
