Sweet 'n Sassy Grilled BBQ Chicken Wings

Ingredients

3.5-4 lbs                 Jumbo Party Wings (Approx 24 pcs)
1 bottle                  Italian Salad Dressing (Approx 12 oz)

2 TB                        Butter
1/2 Cup                  KC Style BBQ Sauce (Such as Sweet Baby Ray's or KC Masterpiece)
1/2 Cup                  Honey
1/4 tsp                   Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp                   Cayenne Pepper *
1 tsp                       Soy Sauce
2 tsp                       Vinegar
1/2                          tsp Salt



Combine the Wings and Salad Dressing in a 1 gallon zip-top bag, and refrigerate at least 4 hours to marinade (overnight is best).

Combine sauce ingredients in small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat to combine all ingredients. Stir well to incorporate the butter into the sauce. Reduce heat to low.

Preheat grill to a medium heat (avoid high heat to prevent flare-ups and scorching). Evenly distribute wings (drained from marinade) onto the grill. Grill approximately 15-20 minutes, turning and flipping every few minutes until wings are well done or internal temperature reaches at least 180¢ª

Transfer grilled wings to large mixing bowl, and top with warmed sauce, tossing to coat wings well. Serve with celery and ranch dressing for dipping.

* The quantity of cayenne pepper creates a medium heat sauce. Adjust the cayenne pepper according to your preferences.
