- Prep the wings. Pat the wings dry and spray or drizzle the chicken wings with avocado oil and then season on all sides with the salt and pepper.4 pounds chicken wings, 1 Tablespoon avocado oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Grill the chicken wings. Place the chicken wings directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and grill them for 15-20 minutes, flipping every 3-5 minutes to prevent burning and to crisp the skin. Cook until the wings reach 165 degrees F.
- Add the sauce. Baste each wing with some of the Hot Honey BBQ Sauce and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes, turning the wings as needed to prevent burning. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170-175 degrees F (this is a high temp for chicken, but it helps give you a clean, pull-off-the-bone bite).
- Serve and enjoy. Remove the wings from the grill and serve with additional sauce on the side for those super saucy wing lovers.
