• Difficulty: Easy
• Servings: 4
• Total Time: 2 hours
• Preparation: 10 minutes
• Resting Time: 1 hour
• Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Wings Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 4 pounds chicken wings, divided into wings and drumettes

Sauce Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 jalapeo, minced
• 2 tablespoons reserved spice mix (from wings seasoning)
• 1 (12-ounce) bottle hot pepper sauce (recommended: Crystal hot sauce)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions:

1. Fire up the flavor! In a medium bowl, mix all the bold spices for the wings. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this epic blend for the sauce. Rinse and pat dry your 4 pounds of chicken wings, then toss them in the remaining spices until fully coated. Cover and let them chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours to soak up that irresistible taste.
2. Get your grill screaming hot at medium-high with direct and indirect zones, or crank your oven to 375F for a foolproof bake.
3. Grill it up: Sear wings over direct heat for crispy perfection, 15-25 minutes. Flip, shift to indirect, and rotate often until juicy and cooked through.
4. Oven magic: Line a baking sheet with a nonstick wire rack, arrange wings, and roast 45-55 minutes, flipping halfway for even golden glory.
5. While wings sizzle, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high. Saut garlic and jalapeo for 1 minute. Stir in reserved spice mix and hot sauce, simmer, then swirl in butter, vinegar, and lime juice. Keep it warm for that game-changing glaze.
6. Dump hot wings into a big bowl, drench with sauce, and toss to coat every piece. Serve these finger-lickin' wings and watch everyone dive in!
