Wow, these sweet and savory orange chicken wings do not disappoint. After marinating, they grill to perfection. The sauce has a very slight Asian feel and caramelizes on the wings making them sticky and sweet. We loved dipping the grilled chicken wings in the extra sauce for a punch of orange flavor. Perfect for any occasion, wing lovers will swoon over these.
