2. In a medium bowl, combine the hot sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix well.
3. Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
4. Grill the wings for 20 25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until they are cooked through and slightly charred.

Chef’s Insight

The secret to tender wings is patting them dry before grilling, which allows the skin to crisp up perfectly.

Notes
