Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings. If required, separate the drumettes and wingettes using a sharp knife.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat each wing evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken wings on the grill, skin-side down. Cook for about 15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the wings are evenly charred and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the wings are grilling, prepare the hot sauce glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the hot sauce, honey, butter, and lime juice. Stir until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well blended, then remove from heat.
Transfer the grilled wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot sauce glaze over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks for a classic side.
