Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • ⅔ cup (1½ sticks) butter

    • ⅓ – ⅔ cup Tabasco sauce (adjust to taste for mild to hot flavor)

    • 4 tablespoons vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 2 tablespoons Würzpott Smoky Garlic Crunch

    • 1 tablespoon Würzpott Smoky Cowboy

    • 1 teaspoon black pepper

    • 4 tablespoons Würzpott Chicken Rub

    • 4–5 lbs chicken wings

    Directions

      1. Combine the brown sugar, butter, Tabasco sauce, vinegar, salt, Worcestershire sauce, Würzpott Smoky Garlic Crunch, Würzpott Smoky Cowboy, and black pepper in a medium saucepan.
      2. Heat over medium heat, whisking until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

      1. (Optional: For best results, pat wings dry with paper towels before seasoning. This helps the rub stick evenly and allows the skin to caramelize better on the grill.)
      2. Rub the chicken wings generously on all sides with Würzpott Chicken Rub.

      1. Preheat your grill to 525°F.

      2. Once it reaches temperature, turn off the middle burner(s) to create an indirect heat zone. Place the wings in the center, away from direct flame.

      3. Grill for 2 minutes per side, then close the lid and cook indirectly at approximately 350°F for 45 minutes, turning halfway through. For grills for 4 or more burners, it will take longer since there is less residual heat. Make sure all wings are cooked to a minimum of 165°F. Most chefs prefer 175-180°F for extra tenderness.

      4. Brush the wings thickly with Buffalo Sauce and grill for 10 minutes more. Flip and grill the other side for 5 additional minutes, until the wings are glossy and lightly caramelized.

      5. Remove from grill, let sit for 5 minutes, and serve with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce, such as blue cheese or ranch.
