Directions
Step
In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Step
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Coat them evenly with the marinade, ensuring each wing is well covered. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for enhanced flavor.
Step
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step
In a saucepan, combine hot barbecue sauce, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Simmer the sauce over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
Step
Grill the marinated wings for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked and have a crispy exterior.
Step
Toss the grilled wings in the hot barbecue sauce until they are well coated.
Step
Remove the Hot BBQ Chicken Wings from the grill and serve them hot.
Step
Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions for a fresh touch.
Tips for this recipe
Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less cayenne pepper to the sauce. For an extra smoky flavor, use wood chips or chunks on the grill. Serve the wings with cooling dips like ranch or blue cheese dressing to balance the heat.
