Ingredients

Fuel & Tools
  • Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
  • Digital meat thermometer
  • Long-handled tongs or long-handled metal spatula

Prep Chicken

  1. Remove frozen chicken wings from the freezer and place them in a rimmed container or bowl in your refrigerator.
  2. Allow the chicken wings to slowly defrost in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours, or until completely thawed.

Directions

  1. Combine chicken wings, oil, and Hidden Valley® Ranch seasoning in a large bowl; toss until fully coated.
  2. Let the chicken wings marinate in the Ranch seasoning for at least two hours in the fridge. This will allow the flavors to penetrate.
  3. When you’re ready, start heating up your grill.

Getting your Grill ready

  1. Pour Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets into a chimney — or pour them in a mound and light. Wait for coals to light fully.
  2. Once the charcoal turns gray with ash, arrange coals in a Two-Zone Method: coals on one side of the grill and a void on the other.
  3. Coals should be at medium heat — around 400°F.
  4. Now, add the grate and let it heat up.
  5. When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with metal tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
  6. This will keep the chicken from sticking to the grill grates.
  7. Now that your grill is ready, place your Ranch chicken wings on the hottest part of the grate, directly above the coals and sear for 1 to 3 minutes.
  8. Searing the wings on both sides until they’re nicely browned, and the skin is crispy.
  9. Now, Move the wings to the cooler side of the grill and brush them with Hidden Valley® Ranch dressing. Close the lid and let them finish cooking through.
  10. Depending on the size of the wings, they should take about 8 to 10 minutes to finish cooking. Use your digital meat thermometer to make sure they’ve hit the internal temperature of 175°F.
  11. Garnish your Grilled Ranch wings with chives, and extra Hidden Valley® Ranch Dressing on the side for dipping.
