Ingredients

9 to 9 1/2 pounds chicken wings (about 36 large)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil plus additional for grilling
Sauces to toss (see below)
Sriracha Buffalo Sauce
Lemon Pepper Garlic Vinaigrette
Balsamic Hoisin Sauce
Spicy Coconut Curry Sauce
Smoked Paprika Vinaigrette

Instructions

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure below.
Cut off tips from chicken wings with kitchen shears or a large heavy knife (save to make chicken stock), then halve wings at joint. Pat dry, then toss with 3 tablespoons oil and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Oil grill rack, then grill wings in batches (covered only if using gas grill), turning occasionally, until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes per batch. Toss wings in a bowl with your choice of sauce. Transfer to a platter and serve.
