Why This Recipe Is So Loved
These wings are packed with bold flavors and have just the right amount of heat. They are quick to prepare and perfect for any casual gathering or game day. The grilling gives them a smoky finish that makes every bite irresistible.
Step 1
Put the wings in a glass or plastic bowl, then pour the hot sauce over them. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge. Let the wings soak up the sauce for at least 2 hours, but if you have time, leaving them for up to 12 hours will make them even better.
Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, heat your grill to medium-high and give the grates a light oiling to keep the wings from sticking. Place the wings on the grill and cook them, turning every now and then, while brushing on some of the leftover marinade to keep them flavorful. It usually takes about 10 minutes for the wings to cook through and stop looking pink inside.
Step 3
Keep grilling and turning the wings for another 5 to 7 minutes until they’re nicely browned and slightly crispy. Once they’re done, take them off the grill and get ready to enjoy!

Storing This Dish
Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or on the grill to keep the skin crispy. Avoid microwaving as it may make the wings soggy.
