“No backyard summer cookout is complete without wings. When it comes to grilling wings, it’s all about the internal temperature, and I never cook without my Thermoworks Thermapen. Wings should be cooked to an internal temperature of 190°F. No, you won’t dry them out, but cooking them longer allows the skin to crisp up and the meat will fall off the bone, giving you that clean bone you see in my videos.”
