Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chicken wings separated at the joints
  • 1 cup of hot sauce such as Tabasco or Louisiana style, such as Trappey's
  • 1 can 12 ounces cola, regular or diet
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the hot sauce and cola for the chicken wing marinade. Combine the marinade mixture with the chicken wings and put in a large baggie or covered container.
  2. Refrigerate the wings in the marinade at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Remove the chicken wings from the chicken wing marinade and drain them on paper towels. Season the wings with the kosher salt and black pepper.
  4. Create the chicken wing sauce by placing the marinade in a small saucepan and reducing the liquid by half. Set the chicken wing sauce aside.
  5. Light a charcoal barbecue or gas grill. Grill the marinated chicken wings until they are cooked through, turning frequently so that all sides get a little charred.
  6. Put the melted butter in a large bowl, and as the chicken wings get cooked, put them in the bowl. When all the wings are done, toss them in the melted butter until they are well coated.

Recipe Notes

Serve the grilled chicken wings with the chicken wing sauce made from the reduced marinade and the blue cheese dressing on the side.
