We’re all excited for the big game, but deciding what to cook can get overwhelming. I love making Chicken Wing Skewers because they add variety, bold flavor, and feed a crowd easily. Paired with Primal Kitchen’s three new dips, they make a perfect game-day spread.

Chicken Wing Skewers for a Party
This Chicken Wing Skewers recipe features three styles cooked over the fire. First are zesty, slightly spicy Chile Lime Wings marinated overnight in achiote paste, lime juice and seasonings. Second are crisp Garlic Parmesan Wings that are dry-brined, cooked, then tossed in a buttery garlic-parmesan sauce. Third are bright, herb-forward Chimichurri Wings with a quick fresh marinade.
Skewering wings speeds up cooking and simplifies flipping — you can turn a whole row at once. The direct flame gives them a delicious crust while locking in flavor, and each style pairs wonderfully with Primal Kitchen’s new dips.

Dips on Game Day
The Primal Kitchen dips are the highlight here — packed with flavor and the ideal companions for these wings. I built the skewers around the dips to create complementary pairings that will have guests coming back for more.

Primal Kitchen Ranch is creamy and zesty — an excellent match for the Garlic Parmesan Wings. Buffalo Ranch brings heat and savory depth that complements the herbiness of the Chimichurri Wings. The Queso is rich and melty, pairing perfectly with the Chile Lime Wings. Between the three dips and three wing styles, there’s something for everyone.

Instructions
-
Place each wing variety in its own food-safe bowl. For the Chile Lime wings, combine the marinade ingredients, toss the wings to coat, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. For the Garlic Parmesan wings, mix the dry brine, coat the wings, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Prepare the Chimichurri the day you plan to cook: combine the herbs, garlic, vinegar, oil and seasonings, add to the wings and marinate 1–2 hours.
-
When marinades are complete, discard excess liquid, skewer the wings, and set aside until ready to grill.
-
Preheat the grill for direct cooking at medium heat (around 325°F).
-
Grill the skewered wings until they reach 165°F internal temperature, about 20–30 minutes. Turn as needed for an even crust. Remove and rest the wings for 5 minutes.
-
While the Garlic Parmesan wings rest, combine them in a large bowl with the melted butter, parsley, parmesan, garlic and red chili flakes. Toss well to coat.
-
Remove the wings from skewers, arrange on a platter and serve with Primal Kitchen Ranch, Buffalo Ranch and Queso. Enjoy!
