Ingredients

BRINED WINGS

  • ½ cup kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 pounds chicken wings tips discarded and wings split

DRY RUB

  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated onion
  • ¾ tablespoon black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon dry sage
  • ½ tablespoon dry mustard
  • ½ tablespoon ground ginger
  • ½ tablespoon cayenne
  • Canola oil for brushing
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Brine the wings

  • In a large saucepan, combine the salt, sugar, garlic, peppercorns and bay leaf with 2 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 3 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, pour the brine over the chicken wings. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.

Meanwhile make the rub

  • In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients except the oil and lime.
  • Light a grill and oil the grate. Drain the wings and pat dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with 1/3 cup of the dry rub. Grill over moderate heat, turning, until nicely charred and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve hot with lime wedges.

Notes

If cooking in an oven, suggest using a rack so the chicken cooks on all sides evenly.
