10 fresh whole chicken wings
Your favorite BBQ Dry Rub as needed
1/3 cup hot sauce
1/3 cup melted butter
1/3your favorite BBQ sauce
With a sharp knife cut the tips off the chicken wings and save the tips for stock. Slash the inside of the wing joint to help them cook more evenly, but don’t cut them all the way through. Sprinkle liberally with the Dry Rub. Set aside.
To make the sauce combine the hot sauce, butter, and BBQ sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir occasionally until the butter is melted and everything is combined. Set aside. Prepare the grill to cook direct at medium heat. Grill the wings turning often for about 25 minutes. The wings are done when they are nicely browned and the juices run clear. Remove the wings to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss well to coat. You may serve the wings whole but if you’d prefer to serve them in individual segments, cut them apart now. Transfer the wings to a platter to serve.
