Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for serving

Equipment Required:

  • Grill
  • CINNAGRILL® All Natural Cinnamon Fire Starter
  • Charcoal chimney (optional)
  • Tongs
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small saucepan
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Basting brush
  • Meat thermometer

Directions:

  • Season the Wings:

In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

 

  • Prepare the Grill:

Use CINNAGRILL® All Natural Cinnamon Hardwood Premium Charcoal Briquets for a delicious Spicy Sweet Smoky Flavor.

Light the charcoal using CINNAGRILL® All Natural Cinnamon Fire Starter and a charcoal chimney (optional). Allow the coals to become white-hot, about 15-20 minutes.

 

  • Grill the Wings:

Place the wings on the grill over indirect heat.

Grill for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wings are crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

 

  • Prepare the Buffalo Sauce:

While the wings are grilling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Add the hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until well combined and heated through.

 

  • Coat the Wings:

Transfer the grilled wings to a large bowl.

Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.

 

  • Serve:

Serve the buffalo wings hot with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.
