Recipe View Grill to Crispy Perfection: Place the sauced wings on the preheated grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the skin is beautifully browned and crispy, approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Recipe View Final Toss and Serve: Transfer the grilled wings back to the large bowl and pour the remaining hot sauce over them. Toss until the wings are thoroughly coated. Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for dipping.

For extra smoky flavor, consider brining the chicken wings for a few hours before applying the dry rub.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. For a milder flavor, use less hot sauce and more butter.
If you don't have a smoker, you can bake the wings in the oven at 275°F (135°C) for about 1.5 hours before grilling.
