Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 pounds whole chicken wings
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the salt mixture to evenly coat.
-
Preheat a gas grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees F).
-
Place the wings on the grill, crowding them together so that they are all touching (this goes against the conventional wisdom of giving meat room so it doesn’t steam; you want them to steam so that they stay moist). Grill, flipping the wings every 5 minutes, for a total of 20 minutes of cooking.
-
In the meantime, heat the butter, hot sauce, vinegar, and honey in a saucepan over low heat and whisk to combine.
-
In a clean large bowl, toss the wings with the sauce. Turn the heat up on the grill to medium-high. Use tongs to remove the wings from the sauce and put them back on the grill until the skins crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Put the wings back in the bowl with the sauce, toss, and serve.
