Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (350-400°F). If using a charcoal grill, set it up for indirect heat cooking.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the wings, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the wings and toss to coat well. Set the wings aside while you prepare the buffalo sauce.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the hot sauce, honey, and cayenne pepper (if using), stirring until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned wings on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes per side, turning occasionally to prevent burning, until the wings are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

Step 7

Transfer the grilled wings to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
