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. 😉

    These wings look delicious… I use Kraft Zesty Italian as a dressing for a pasta dish I make with Italian sausage and bow tie noodles… and lots of yummy veggies! So glad to have you join us at Tuesday Turn About! Hope to see you each week!

    Prepared 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.

    I’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.

    I zest up my life by trying newer and bolder dishes from time to time. It helps me beat bordem.

    I 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. =)

    The 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.
