Step
1
Trim the tips off of the wings and discard or set aside for homemade stock.
Ingredients
2 Pound chicken wings
2
Cut the skin flap between the flat and the drummette so the wing stays a little more straight and is easier to wrap.
3
Place the wings in a large bowl and cover with the beer and red pepper flakes (if desired). Refrigerate for 12-24 hours before grilling.
