- 6 pounds chicken wings separated at the joints and tips discarded
- Chicken Wing Dip Recipe Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups hot pepper sauce such as Frank's Louisiana style
- 1 1/2 sticks 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
- Light a charcoal barbeque or heat a gas grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grate.
- Heat a small saucepan and melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the hot pepper sauce, honey, cayenne kosher salt, black pepper and granulated garlic. Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes and keep it warm while you grill the wings.
- When the grill is ready, cook the chicken wings until they are cooked through, about 8 to 12 minutes per side, until there is no pink near the bones.
- Remove the cooked wings to a large bowl and pour the butter pepper sauce over them. Stir or toss them until every piece is evenly coated. Serve hot.
Good To Know – The cooking of the wings can be done in a hot oven or even deep fried if you have an electric fryer.
However you choose to cook them, make sure they are cooked all the way through before you add them to the sauce. There’s no further cooking after they are mixed together.
Food For Thought – This sauce is definitely hot and sweet – for a milder style, try mixing a bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce with half the amount of honey and only 1/2 cup of hot pepper sauce.
The flavor will be a little richer and not so hot, but will still have plenty of spice.
