My husband fine-tuned this recipe—and the results were spectacular! These spicy-hot grilled wings help make the party. You can easily adjust the heat level by altering the amount of chili powder and cayenne. The wings take a little time, but they’re worth it. —Angela Roster, Greenbackville, Virginia

Cook Time 35 min
Yield about 6-1/2 dozen

Ingredients

  • 8 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 cup ranch salad dressing
  • Celery sticks

Directions

  1. Cut chicken wings into 3 sections; discard wing tip sections. Set wings aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring brown sugar, hot sauce, butter and vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until butter is melted and sauce is heated through, 6-8 minutes. Cool.
  3. In a large shallow dish, combine sugar and seasonings. Add chicken wings in batches and turn to coat evenly.
  4. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat until juices run clear, 35-45 minutes, turning and basting occasionally with sauce.
  5. In a small bowl, combine blue cheese and ranch salad dressing; serve with chicken wings and celery sticks.
