Instructions
1
|
Bring one pint of water, brown sugar, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne sauce, and rice wine vinegar to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
2
|
Add the mixture to a large pot, then add 3 pints of ice water to cool the brine quickly.
3
|
Add the wings to the cool brine. Allow the wings to sit in the brine for 2 to 6 hours.
4
|
Once brined, remove the wings and pat dry with paper towels. Add them to a bowl with a tiny bit of olive oil. This will keep the wings from sticking to your grill.
5
|
Turn on your on medium to medium-high heat, and spray with non-stick spray. Keep an eye on the wings to avoid any flare-ups on your grill. Grill for about 15 minutes, or until the wings are done.

Combine the melted butter and hot sauce in a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
7
|
Remove your wings from the grill and add them to the sauce. Toss to coat well.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pat Dry for Maximum Crispness 🛁Thoroughly pat chicken wings dry with paper towels before grilling to remove surface moisture, which prevents steaming and ensures a crispy, golden exterior.
- Two-Zone Grilling Technique 🔥Create a hot zone for initial searing and a cooler zone for finishing to prevent charring while achieving crispy skin and fully cooked meat inside.
- Emulsify Your Sauce Properly 🧈Whisk melted butter into Frank's Red Hot slowly off-heat, then add remaining seasonings to create a silky, well-balanced coating that clings to wings instead of sliding off.
- Brine Overnight for Flavor Depth 💧Soak wings in a saltwater brine with rice wine vinegar for 8-12 hours to enhance juiciness and allow the acidic and savory flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Brush Sauce During Last Minutes ⏱️Apply your butter-hot sauce mixture only in the final 2-3 minutes of grilling to prevent burning while allowing it to caramelize and create a glossy, flavorful crust.
