Dad's Grilled Hot Wings

Prepare the Wings: Cut wings into sections if not already pre-cut and discard the tips. In a large bowl, season the wings with poultry seasoning salt, garlic salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure all wings are evenly coated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-450°F or 175-230°C) and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Grill the Wings: Place the seasoned wings on the preheated grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone. This should take approximately 40-45 minutes.

Prepare the Buffalo Sauce: While the wings are grilling, pour the Buffalo wing sauce into a deep, microwave-safe bowl. Add the butter. Microwave on high until the butter is melted, about 1 minute. Stir well to combine the sauce and melted butter until a smooth emulsion forms.

Sauce and Finish Grilling: Remove the grilled wings from the grill. Dip each wing into the prepared Buffalo sauce, ensuring they are fully coated. Return the sauced wings to the hot grill for an additional 3 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize and adhere to the wings.

Final Sauce and Grill: Dip the wings in the sauce a second time and return to the grill for a final 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. This final step ensures a sticky, flavorful glaze.

Serve: Transfer the wings to a serving dish and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the bowl. Serve immediately with celery sticks, blue cheese dressing, or ranch dip for a cooling contrast to the heat.
