**Grilled Basque Wings: A Culinary Journey to the Heart of Spain**
Originating from the Basque region of Spain, grilled Basque wings, also known as "alitas de pollo a la Vasca," are a delightful culinary creation that marries smoky, grilled flavors with a vibrant marinade. These delectable wings are not just any ordinary chicken wings; they are marinated in a special blend of garlic, paprika, olive oil, and white wine, creating a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. Grilled to perfection, the wings emerge with a crispy skin that shatters upon each bite, revealing tender and succulent meat infused with the essence of the marinade. Accompanied by two tantalizing dipping sauces, a traditional Spanish romesco sauce and a spicy mojo picón sauce, these grilled Basque wings offer a journey through the diverse culinary landscapes of Spain.

Steps:
- 1. In a large serving bowl, mix together all the ingredients except the chicken wings.
- 2. You will notice that the wing has two joints. Cut through both joints, separating the wing into three pieces. The wing tip is not usable here, so either toss it out or freeze it and throw it into your next stock, a purpose for which it is excellent.
- 3. Salt and pepper the wing pieces to taste and whip them onto a medium-hot grill. Turn them occasionally until golden brown, about 5 minutes. To see if they're done, take a big one off the grill and bite into it.
- 4. When the wings are cooked through, add them to the bowl with the dressing and mix to thoroughly cover. Set them on a platter, open a cold beer, and enjoy yourself.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your wings.
- Marinate the wings for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help them absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before grilling the wings. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the grates.
- Grill the wings for 10-12 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the wings has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
