Memorial Day may be the official start of summer, but I’ve always thought of Father’s Day as the kickoff of serious grilling season.

But this year, maybe give Dad a break. Ladies, if you don’t already grill, this is your opportunity to take the tongs and give it a try with a recipe that every man loves – hot wings!

Wings rarely are made at home because they are associated with deep frying, something most home cooks don’t want to bother with. But truth is, they are so much better grilled. When you grill them, the meat is tender and juicy and the burnished skin is crisp, not flabby.
