Adam's Grilled Spicy Wings

This fall, Saturdays mornings were spent creating delicious goodies and packing the car to head out for a day of tailgating fun! Every tailgating season, Adam and I try and update recipes that can be prepared on the grill. Although we have made several interesting dishes, one that continues to be requested is Adam's grilled spicy wings!

Adam's Grilled Spicy Wings

Ingredients

4 lbs. chicken wings* (separated)
1 recipe of Spicy Wing Rub (recipe follows)
3/4 cup Wing Sauce (recipe follow)

Directions

To prepare wings, place wings in a gallon-size plastic bag with wing rub. Shake bag vigorously until wings are well coated. Place in refrigerator to marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Remove wings from bag and place on hot grill. Cook wings for 35-40 minutes turning often. Remove wings to a large bowl when they have reached desired crispiness. Coat wings with wing sauce and serve immediately.

*If using frozen wings, defrost in refrigerator overnight.
