Step-by-Step Instructions for Pesto Chicken Wings
  1. Prepare the chicken wings by separating into drumettes and flats, rinse, and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  3. Grill the wings for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until golden-brown and cooked through.
  4. Toss the grilled wings in pesto sauce while hot, ensuring they are well-coated.
  5. Serve the wings with extra pesto on the side and enjoy!
