Prepare the Marinade:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In a large mixing bowl, combine the avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey (if using) together.<\/li>\n<li>Add the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until all the ingredients are well mixed and the consistency is smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2. Marinate the Chicken Wings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, allowing the marinade to adhere better.<\/li>\n<li>Place the wings into the bowl with the marinade. Use your hands or a spoon to ensure the wings are thoroughly coated.<\/li>\n<li>Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>3. Preheat the Grill:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 350\u00b0F to 375\u00b0F (175\u00b0C to 190\u00b0C). If you\u2019re using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed for even cooking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>4. Grill the Wings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Once the grill is preheated, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking by soaking a paper towel in some avocado oil and using tongs to rub it over the grates.<\/li>\n<li>Place the marinated chicken wings on the grill, ensuring there\u2019s some space between each wing. Close the lid and grill for about 20-25 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Turn the wings every 5-7 minutes, allowing each side to get crispy and charred.<\/li>\n<li>Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the wings reaches 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>5. Garnish and Serve:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove the wings from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes. This resting period helps redistribute the juices.<\/li>\n<li>Sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley over the wings for an added burst of flavor and color.<\/li>\n<li>Serve immediately, accompanying them with your favorite paleo-friendly dip or a side salad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Recipe Summary<\/h3>\n<p>These Paleo-Friendly Grilled Chicken Wings boast a savory blend of spices with the perfect balance of heat and herbal notes, making them a delightful treat for any occasion.
