The wings should marinate for 1 to 2 hours in the fridge.
Grill the wings on a medium to medium-high grill, turning them every 5 to 7 minutes. Depending on the grill the wings usually take 25 to 30 minutes to cook all the way through.
The wings are done when they're firm to the touch, crispy on the outside, and cooked all the way through with an internal temp of 165ºF.
Serve the grilled wings with some Tequila Lime Dipping sauce.
