My husband fine-tuned this recipe - and the results were spectacular! These spicy-hot grilled wings are true party pleasers. You can easily adjust the heat level by altering the amount of chili powder. The wings take a little time, but they're worth it. -Angela Roster, Greenbackville, Virginia

Directions

Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip section. Set the wings aside.
In a saucepan, bring the brown sugar, hot sauce, butter and vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 6-8 minutes or until butter is melted and sauce is heated through. Cool.
In a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, combine the sugar, seasonings and 1 cup sauce. Add chicken wings in batches; seal bag and toss to coat evenly.
Cover and grill wings over indirect medium heat for 35-45 minutes or until juices run clear, turning and basting occasionally with remaining sauce.
In a small bowl, combine blue cheese and ranch salad dressing; serve with chicken wings and celery sticks. Yield: about 6-1/2 dozen.

Editor's Note: Uncooked chicken wing sections (wingettes) may be substituted for whole chicken wings.

A great recipe for people who love Hot Wings.

This recipe is definitely my "go to" recipe for wings.

I have dubbed these my "pantry wings" because of the number of different ingredients in them. They are labor intensive, but very worth it.

I have mixed a 5x batch of the dry ingredients to have at the ready. Really saves time. I get requests for these wings ALL the time. They have never failed to WOW even the most discerning "wing heads"

Lots of flavor, my go to recipe for outstanding wings.

Since it was terribly cold, I placed the wings on a cooling rack placed inside a sheet cake pan and baked at 350 degrees for 45 minutes and basting. They were absolutely HOT! And the are worth it.
