Sweet and Spicy Detroit Wings
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, tips discarded
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more if you can stand it)
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup honey, divided
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
Instructions
1
Heat up your outdoor grill to a medium temperature and lightly grease the grates with oil.
2
Rinse chicken wings thoroughly under running water and gently pat them dry using paper towels. Sprinkle the wings with cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper for added flavor.
3
Place chicken wings on the preheated grill and generously brush them with 1/2 cup of honey while cooking, allowing the wings to cook through and reach an internal temperature where juices run clear, approximately 20-30 minutes.
4
In a large bowl, combine melted butter with hot sauce and the remaining 1/2 cup of honey to create a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.
5
Once cooked, remove the wings from the grill immediately and toss them in the hot honey butter sauce to coat evenly. Serve the wings with the sauce still wet, or return them to the grill for an additional 1 minute per side to set the sauce and create a crispy exterior.
