- Cook wings over medium coals for about 10-12 minutes or in a hot griddle pan until cooked through.
- Melt the butter, add the lemon juice, and baste the wings generously with the mixture for the last 3 minutes of the remaining cooking time.
Mielies:
- Season the mielies, brush with ½ the butter, and cook over medium coals or on a hot griddle pan for 15 minutes.
- Combine the butter and herbs, and brush them over the mielies for the last 2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
