25minutes or so on one side or both sidespro i’ll flip them about halfway throughum but they don’t usually take more thanthat it just depends on how fat yourwings are and the temperature of thegrilland do you take the temperature of themeatum i usually do chicken’s like 165.okay if you don’t you know if you’re notif you don’t trust yourselfyou know and inever take advertisinglook i’m very orange you matchy matchyright nowso um and and i think the carrots aregoing to take about that same amount oftime so i’m going to put those on thegrill around the same timethat’s going to be so good well he likesto do the grilled partand that’s the other you put the carrotsin the other sauce from the other nightyeah because this and this sauce um asas it’sbeen sitting is spicy and hascumin
