  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Marinade and Chicken Wings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes

Buffalo Sauce

  • ¼ cup hot sauce
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, brown sugar, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your outdoor gas grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F. Lightly brush the grill grates with oil to prevent the wings from sticking during cooking.
  4. Grill the Wings: Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them directly on the grill grates. Discard any leftover marinade. Grill the wings for 25–30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and a golden-brown color. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 175°F and the wings are no longer pink inside.
  5. Prepare the Buffalo Sauce: While the wings cook, mix the hot sauce and melted butter together in a bowl until well combined, creating a classic buffalo wing sauce.
  6. Toss Wings in Sauce: Once grilled, transfer the hot wings to a large bowl, pour the buffalo sauce over them, and toss thoroughly so each wing is coated evenly with the sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure wings reach an internal temperature of 175°F for safe consumption and easy removal from the bones.
  • Use a meat thermometer to accurately check doneness.
  • For extra crispy wings, consider finishing them on high heat for a couple of minutes at the end.
  • If you prefer less spicy wings, reduce the amount of hot sauce in the buffalo sauce.
  • Wings can be marinated for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor absorption.
