Chicken wings to cook and oven has packed up

My oven is not working and I am waiting for an engineer to come and fix it.
Anyway in the mean time I have some chicken wings to cook in the fridge. I have a microwave, hob and grill (grill & hob part ot the cooker still works).
How would I cook the chicken wings on one or two of the above devices that I have already working? EG I could microwave then grill, but I don't know how long to microwave for & what setting...
Can you help Old Stylers

Ive done spicy chicken wings under the grill of the oven before. Just grill under a medium/high heat until brown,then turn and brown again. As there isn't much meat on the chicken wings they dont take a lot of cooking.

If after getting them all brown and cooked looking you find as you bite them that they are underdone, you can finish them off with a couple of minutes in the mircrowave.

I thought my oven had packed up when the hob was still working.I was about to ring for an engineer when someone said 'oh,my oven did that and it turned out that my daughter had been fiddling with the automatic/manual switch on the front.she had turned it from manual to automatic'.I tried mine and found that was what had happened to mine-small son in my case.
Sorry if you've already checked this,but I was sure mine had packed up for good.Few months later I was talking to someone else who said her oven had packed up,turns out the same thing had happened to her!0 -
Mix 1 spoon honey, 1 of tomato puree and a dash of worcester sauce, and brush over the chicken wings. Grill on medium for about 10 minutes each side. They are lovely!

I would cook in the microwave first and then brown them under the grill. Microwave them a couple of mins then check and repeat. Stab them as usual to check the juices run clear.The best bargains are priceless!!!!!!!!!! :T :T :T0

Thank you all very much. Will soon be micro-waving then grilling. The chicken wings came in its own sauce but I will definately try your sauce Pol.
When I bought the wings I completely forgot that the oven was not working.
