Oh boy…you’re going to like these.
Well, let me correct that. You’re going to like these if you like easy recipes AND recipes without a lot of ingredients.
I partnered up with Kraft and their Zesty Italian Dressing to share a flavorful way to dine at home with it. They invited me to look over their recipes to see if any of them would be a good fit for me. Well, with Spring weather in full force here in Vegas, it didn’t take long for me to decide that I wanted a recipe that could be grilled. And I wanted it to be simple, fuss-free. I found their Zesty Grilled Wings and it was a perfect choice: only 3 ingredients and only a couple steps. Sign me up.
To make this 3-Ingredient Grilled Chicken Wings recipe, all you’ll need is chicken wings/drummettes, Kraft Italian Dressing, and your favorite barbecue sauce. If you’re not a fan of wings, you could use another cut of chicken – like chicken thighs or even chicken breasts (you will have to adjust the cooking time though).
To make them, you will marinate your chicken wings for at least 30 minutes in the Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing. Then, you’ll grill the wings and brush on some barbecue sauce towards the end of your grilling. That’s it. Nothing more to it. I told you it was easy, didn’t I?
We make grilled chicken with barbecue sauce all the time and we’ve also marinated the chicken in Italian dressing before, this was the first time I’ve combined both in one recipe. I think it was a perfect duo. Our Grilled Chicken Wings were gone in no time and everyone raved about them. We enjoyed them for a simple family dinner, but wouldn’t these be perfect for a party too? I won’t tell your guest how easy they are if you don’t tell mine. 😉
Here’s the full recipe, ready for you to print. Not ready for it yet? Save it to one of your Pinterest boards so you can find it easily next time.

June 28, 2019 at 6:02 amI use this salad dressing on roasts in the winter. Just pour it over your roast in a slow cooker and let it cook. Yum!!

October 14, 2018 at 12:19 pmPrepared half without the barbeque sauce and half with the bbq sauce. Both were good but with the bbq sauce beyond good! I will serve these at our annual Christmas party with the bbq sauce. Recipe is fantastic in its simplicity. I highly recommend follow the recipe…. you will not be disappointed.

May 7, 2013 at 9:37 pmI’d never think to marinate my chicken with dressing! I actually just came back from the grocery store and bought some wings. I didn’t know how I was gonna cook them tomorrow so this recipe is perfect timing! How do I zest up my life? With honeydew boba 🙂 It’s an addiction I tell ya but it’s so refreshing haha.

Kim says
May 6, 2013 at 7:00 pmI don’t know what I’d prefer more…the zesty dressing or the zesty guy! Well, since I’m married I guess I have to go for the dressing. Rats. Haha. As for how I zest up my life? Any way I can. A night at home with hubs watching TV with a couple plates of nachos is always fun. =)

May 6, 2013 at 4:09 pmThe way i zest up my life is to make sure something new is experienced, or learnt everyday. If you do something new everyday, then there is always something to look forward to.
