| to taste | salt and pepper | |
| 1 cup | 240 ml | Greek yogurt |
| 5 | key limes, juiced | |
| 2/3 cup | 160 ml | brine from bread and butter pickle chips |

Instructions
- Separate the drumettes from the wingettes by slicing a sharp knife through the joints. Place the trimmed wings into a large mixing bowl and toss together with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients and pour over the wings. Toss together until all the wings are fully coated and submerged in the marinade. Cover, refrigerate and allow the mixture to sit for 6 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Generously brush the grill with a high-temperature-resistant oil before adding the chicken.
- Remove the wings from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place onto the grill. Generously season with salt and pepper.
- Lower the heat to medium, cover and grill for 10 minutes. Uncover, flip and grill for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the juices run clear when a test cut is made.
- Remove from the grill and allow the wings to rest for about 7 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and top with key lime wedges, cilantro leaves and a sprinkle of smoked paprika. Serve.
