Steady medium heat is best for grilling wings; they need time for the fat to render and the skin to crisp.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

3 pounds chicken wings, flats and drumettes separated if desired
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1¼ cups Sesame-Lime Vinaigrette, divided
1½ cups shishito peppers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red jalapeño or Fresno chile, thinly sliced
1½ cups mixed tender herbs (such as mint, cilantro, and/or basil)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Season chicken wings with salt and black pepper, place in a large resealable plastic bag, and add 1 cup vinaigrette. Seal bag and turn to coat; chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.

    Step 2

    Prepare a grill for medium heat. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until wings are evenly charred and cooked through, 8–10 minutes if separated, 12–15 minutes if left whole. Transfer to a platter.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, toss shishito peppers and oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred in spots and blistered, about 3 minutes. Transfer to platter with wings.

    Step 4

    Scatter jalapeño and herbs over wings and shishito peppers. Drizzle with remaining ¼ cup vinaigrette.
