Directions
Prepping the Wings:
- If your wings are whole, separate at the joint into drummies and flappers.
- Blend the dry rub ingredients in a large zip top bag then add the raw chicken wings. Shake to evenly coat.
- Transfer to a large bowl or baking sheet then refrigerate uncovered 10-15 minutes. Remove the wings from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature while you make the sauce.
Making the Sauce:
- Add the Jack Daniels, Frank’s buffalo sauce, Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce and butter to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
- Add a pinch of salt and blend well.
Grilling the Wings:
- Preheat the grill to medium/medium-high heat (375-400°).
- Place the wings over direct heat in a single layer and grill about 20 minutes or until the wings are cooked through turning occasionally.NOTE: If the wings are getting too dark, turn one burner off and move the wings to indirect heat. Continue grilling to an internal temp of 165° degrees.
- Near the end of cooking, brush on the Jack Daniels sauce to coat and grill 1 more minute per side. Remove from the grill and eat right away.
