Ingredients
- A bottle of fiery hot wing sauce, like the popular "Louisiana"® Wing Sauce, measuring 12 fluid ounces
- 24 succulent chicken wings, or adjust the amount to suit your needs
Step 1
Begin by delicately arranging the wings in a bowl made of glass or plastic. Gently, pour a generous amount of hot sauce over the wings, ensuring they are entirely coated. Cover the bowl securely with a layer of plastic wrap and allow the flavors to meld in the cool confines of the refrigerator. Remember to stir the wings intermittently during the marinating process, encouraging the sauce to envelop each piece perfectly. This step may take anywhere from 2 to 12 hours, allowing for a range of intensities in flavor.
Step 2
Meanwhile, prepare your outdoor grill by preheating it to a comfortable medium-high heat. Take a moment to lightly oil the grate, ensuring the wings won't stick during the cooking process.
Step 3
Once the grill is ready, carefully place the marinated wings on the grate. As they sizzle and cook, take the time to turn them occasionally, basting them with any leftover marinade. Cook the wings until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, which should take approximately 10 minutes. To achieve a delightful char and added flavor, continue grilling the wings, turning them every so often, until they develop a beautiful browned exterior, usually around 5 to 7 minutes more.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your hot wing sauce in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid to prevent any odors from seeping out and tainting the flavor.
- 2. Store your wings in a large resealable bag with a splash of marinade before grilling. This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat evenly.
