Ingredients
-
2.5 lbs Chicken Wings, flats and drumettes, separated
-
2 T Vegetable Oil
-
1 T Kosher Salt or seasoning rub - we recommend Cock-A-Doodle Brew Beer Can Chicken Rub
-
1 Cup Hot Honey Bee Sting Chipotle BBQ Sauce
Directions
Fire up your grill and set the temperature to 350°F. If you’re using a gas or charcoal grill, set it up for medium heat.
While the grill is preheating, pat your chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is key for achieving that crispy skin. Toss the wings with vegetable oil and your choice of seasoning rub — smoky, spicy, or sweet, depending on your flavor adventure.
Once the grill is up to temperature, Place wings directly on the grill grates and cook for 25–30 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 175°F. Wings should be golden brown with slightly charred edges.
Remove wings from the grill and toss with our Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce for a sticky, sweet-heat finish.
