Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 3 pounds chicken wings, cut apart at joints, wing tips discarded
Marinade
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup Italian-style salad dressing
Spicy Butter Sauce
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot), or to taste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Marinate the Wings: Combine chicken wings, soy sauce, and Italian dressing in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag, squeezing out excess air, and refrigerate, allowing the wings to marinate for 4 hours to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Spicy Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in hot pepper sauce and soy sauce until the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Dry the Wings: Remove the chicken wings from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Discard any leftover marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
- Grill the Wings: Place the wings on the preheated grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Toss with Sauce: Transfer the grilled wings to a large bowl. Pour the prepared spicy butter sauce over the wings and toss until all wings are evenly coated with the sauce.
Notes
- Marinating the wings overnight intensifies the flavor and tenderness.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid undercooking or overcooking the wings.
- Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce depending on your preferred spice level.
- For a smokier flavor, consider using charcoal or wood chips in the grill.
- Butter sauce can be warmed slightly if it solidifies before tossing with the wings.
