Instructions
- 01If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- 02In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, herbes de Provence, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to blend.
- 03Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl and add half of the oil-herb mixture. Toss until thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- 04Preheat a grill (charcoal preferred for extra flavor) to medium-high heat, about 400°F. Clean and oil the grates.
- 05Thread 3 to 4 chicken wing pieces onto each skewer, pressing them close together but not too tight to ensure even cooking.
- 06Grill the skewers, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the wings are deeply charred in spots and cooked through, about 16 to 20 minutes total.
- 07During the last 3 minutes of grilling, brush the wings all over with the remaining herb oil, allowing it to sizzle and perfume the wings.
- 08Transfer skewers to a platter. Let rest 5 minutes, then drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
