Wing Zzzingers


Well, we are well into football season (or autumn, if you will....YEA!!!).  Do you love wings like I do?  I do enjoy a batch of traditional Buffalo Wings, but every once in a while, something a bit different is nice.  This is a really yummy grilled version swathed in herbs and seasonings.  A great tailgating or football-watching treat.

You can mix the dried seasonings ahead of time and then simply mix the sauce and then toss everything together.  I serve them as I do traditional wings, with carrots and celery and ranch or blue cheese salad dressing.

WING ZZZINGERS (for 2 pounds of wings)

Hot Sauce:
1/3 cup hot sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vinegar with peppers
2 Tbsp butter

Chicken Seasoning:
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp dried Italian seasoning
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
dash cayenne

2 pounds chicken wings, remove tips, divide flats and drummettes.  Remove any excess skin.

Melt the butter with the hot sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar.  

Mix the seasonings together.

Pour some of the sauce over the wings and toss well.  Add add of the dried seasonings.

Place on top level of a grill, temperature on low.  Close grill and cook for 15 minutes. Brush remaining sauce on top of wings and turn.  Grill for another 15 minutes.

Grill Note:  I used our George Foreman grill on #4 and this worked fine.  If you use a gas or charcoal grill, you may need to adjust the time and/or heat to your liking.
