01
Step 1
Start by cutting the wings into sections, tossing the tips since they’re not really needed. Give them a good seasoning with poultry seasoning salt, garlic salt, and some black pepper. Heat your grill to medium and brush the grate with a little oil so the wings don’t stick. Place the wings on the grill and let them cook, turning every now and then, until the skin turns golden and crispy—this usually takes about 45 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when an instant-read thermometer near the bone hits 165°F.

Step 2
While the wings are grilling, pour your hot sauce into a microwave-safe bowl and add the butter. Pop it in the microwave for about a minute until the butter melts, then stir it together so it’s smooth and saucy.

Step 3
Once the wings are cooked, dip them into the sauce, then put them back on the grill for a few minutes to let the sauce set. Give them another dunk in the sauce and grill for another 3 to 5 minutes. Finally, pile the wings into a serving dish and pour the remaining sauce over the top. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These wings deliver a perfect balance of heat and flavor that excites the taste buds. They are crispy on the outside and juicy inside, making them a great choice for any casual meal or party. The spicy kick adds a fun twist that everyone will enjoy.
How to serve
Serve these wings with a side of cool ranch or blue cheese dressing to balance the heat. Fresh celery and carrot sticks also pair well and add a refreshing crunch. For a fuller meal, add some grilled corn or a simple green salad.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or on the grill to keep the skin crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wings soggy.
