Allergens

Gluten, Dairy (optional)

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken wings (separated into wingettes and drumettes)
• 1/2 cup all
• purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup hot sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with flour, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
2. Preheat your grill or smoker to medium high heat (around 375°F).
3. Place the wings on the grill grate and cook for about 8 10 minutes per side, until cooked through and golden brown.
4. In a small saucepan, combine the melted butter, hot sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to blend.
5. Once the wings are cooked, brush them with the sauce, then return them to the grill for an additional 2 3 minutes per side, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to set.
6. Remove from the grill and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Chef’s Insight

To enhance the smoky flavor, use wood chips, like hickory or applewood, on your grill.

Notes

Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic touch.
