Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the rub ingredients and set aside.
- Add the chicken wings to a large bowl and stir in the rub. Toss with two large wooden spoons until the wings are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge while you make the blue cheese dressing.
- Set up your grill for 2-zone grilling (one side direct heat and the other side no heat).
- Place the wings on the indirect heat side of the grill and cover the grill. Let cook for 7 to 10 minutes, flipping once.
- Transfer the wings to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until lightly charred and fully cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the hot sauce, butter, pepper, and garlic powder in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, stir occasionally and let simmer on low for 5 minutes.
- Take the wings off of the grill and place in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over them and toss with two wooden spoons until fully coated.
- Serve at once with cut celery sticks and the homemade blue cheese dressing on the side.
Notes
- See the video near the top of the blog post for visual guidance. If you liked the video, please subscribe to our YouTube channel.
- The seasoned wings can sit in the fridge (covered) for up to 12 hours. The sauce can be made 1 to 2 hours in advance. Reheat the sauce over medium heat until simmering.
- Frank's is a fairly mild hot sauce. If you want your wings spicier, then add 1 teaspoon cayenne to the rub.
- These wings are definitely best served fresh off the grill. See the blog post for additional cooking methods.
- Leftover wings will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave on HIGH for 15 to 30 seconds. Again, these wings are best when they are fresh off the grill and immediately tossed with the sauce.
