Ingredients
  • 2.5 pounds chicken wing pieces or 2.5 pounds whole chicken wings (about 16 wing pieces)
  • ½ cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 Tbsp paprika
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • Bleu cheese dressing
  • Celery sticks
  • If making dairy free dip:
  • ⅔ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried dill weed
Instructions
  1. If starting with whole chicken wings, cut off the wing tips and discard and then cut the drummette apart from the center section at the joint.
  2. Place wing pieces in a zip lock bag.
  3. Mix hot sauce, spices and brown sugar.
  4. Pour all but ¼ cup of the sauce into the bag with the chicken wings.
  5. Seal bag and massage sauce on to wings.
  6. Refrigerate to marinate for at least a half hour or more.
  7. You can grill the chicken wings or broil them if it’s too cold or snowy for grilling.
To grill:
  1. Heat grill on medium high.
  2. Remove from marinade, discard marinade, and grill chicken wings, cover down about 8 minutes per side until no longer pink inside, to an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F.
To broil:
  1. Heat broiler on high.
  2. Remove chicken wings from marinade, discard marinade, and place wings on a foil lined sheet pan.
  3. Broil about 6 inches from heat (oven door closed) about 7-10 minutes on the first side and about 3 - 6 minutes on the second side, until charred and no longer pink inside, to an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F.
  4. Times will vary depending on your grill or broiler so keep an eye on the chicken wings as they cook to prevent burning.
  5. Once cooked, toss with reserved ¼ cup sauce and serve with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks or make the dairy free dip that follows.
For dairy free dip:
  1. Mix ⅔ cup mayonnaise, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp dried dill weed.
