Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 cup blue cheese dressing (optional, for serving)
- 1 cup celery sticks (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375–400°F.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy on the grill.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the wings on the grill grates in a single layer. Grill for 25–30 minutes, turning every 5–7 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispy skin. The wings are done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is golden brown.
While the wings are grilling, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the hot sauce, white vinegar, garlic powder, and honey. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the grill and immediately place them in a large bowl. Pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the sauced wings on a platter and serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side, if desired.
Enjoy your Grilled Buffalo Wings with a Bite—perfect for game day or any gathering!
