Ingredients

- All-Purpose Poultry Seasoning, recipe follows
- Nonstick grill spray, for the grill
- Buffalo BBQ Wing Sauce, recipe follows
- Blue Cheese Yogurt Dip, recipe follows
- Carrot and celery sticks, for serving
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon red hatch chile powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons apple juice
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chile flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter
- 1/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank’s RedHot
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Pat the wings dry, then toss with the All-Purpose Poultry Seasoning. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- Preheat a grill to medium low (about 250 degrees F).
- Once the grill is up to temperature, place the wings on the upper rack in the grill and cook with the cover closed for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature is around 150 degrees F. Once the chicken wings reach the desired temperature, increase the temperature of your grill to medium high (about 400 degrees F). Spray your grill grates with nonstick grill spray, then place your wings onto the hot grates and cook to create a nice char on each side of the wings, until the final temp reaches 165 degrees F, about 1 minute per side.
- Transfer the wings from the grill to a mixing bowl with the Buffalo BBQ Wing Sauce and toss to coat. Serve with the Blue Cheese Yogurt Dip (or your favorite ranch or blue cheese dressing) and carrots and celery sticks.
- Combine the salt, chile powder, paprika, black pepper, granulated sugar, granulated onion, garlic powder and thyme in a mixing bowl and stir to evenly incorporate.
- Combine the vinegar, apple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, chile flakes and paprika in a nonreactive container and whisk to combine.
- Melt the butter over medium heat. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add the vinegar mixture and hot sauce and whisk to emulsify.
- Combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, blue cheese, buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic powder, granulated onion, black pepper and salt and mix well. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Great as a dip or dressing.

This is my new favourite chicken recipe! I didn’t have any wings which was a shocker on it’s self since I buy by the box. I used drumsticks and was so happy with the results. The beautiful colour from the dry rub, then the sauce (yum) and then for me I used some homemade ranch as my hubby doesn’t like blue cheese (I had some and should have used it for myself doh). Thanks for this recipe.
These were really great wings. Definitely make the yogurt sauce it was fantastic! I baked mine in a 300-degree oven instead of using the grill, to temperature, and then grilled them on direct heat, turned out fine.
This is fantastic, very fresh and so easy to put together . I just put it in the fridge to sit overnight, if it tastes this good now can’t wait to taste it tomorrow. Did not have buttermilk, so just added a little vinegar to 2% milk. Let it sit for a while and it thickened up just like buttermilk, same tang. Making the barbecued Wings tomorrow for Father’s Day.
