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, sectioned into wings and drumettes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 2 tablespoons reserved spice mixture, from above
- 1 (12-ounce) bottle hot pepper sauce (recommended: Crystal hot sauce)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine all of the spices. Remove and reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture. Rinse the wings and pat dry. Add the wings to bowl with the spice mixture and stir to coat well. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat with direct and indirect heat or preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the grill: Cook the wings over direct heat until they are good and crispy, about 15 to 25 minutes. Turn them over and put them on indirect heat, turning frequently, as needed.
- Oven method: Line a baking sheet with a nonstick wire rack. Arrange the wings on the rack and bake them for 45 to 55 minutes, turning halfway through.
- While the wings are grilling, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, garlic and jalapeno. Saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the reserved 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture and 12 ounces of hot sauce. Bring to a simmer, add the butter, vinegar and lime juice. Hold warm until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, add the wings to a large serving bowl, pour in the sauce and toss.

We love this recipe, use it all the time! We hate even added honey to it sometimes to make a hot honey sauce!
This recipe is in my rotation for recipes. Very simple and effective for bringing the spice & heat. Especially works well in an air fryer, I tend to coat the wings and let them sit for a few mins to ensure the sauce sticks well.
We made these and they were awesome. I don’t handle heat very well so my husband added some extra butter to offset the heat for me. Everyone loved them!!!
I do the baking method, and broil them for 10 or so min at the end to get them nice and crispy. My husband loves them!
These were FANTASTIC!! I brought to a super bowl party and everyone was raving about these. I will for sure be making these again.
I can’t believe only one person mentioned salt. The first thing I noticed is that there is no salt in the rub. But, if you watch the video he mentions salt though he never says how much. I couldn’t imagine a rub without salt.
Please, Guy, fix the recipe.
Followed the recipe: stupidly hot spices!
Threw the wings in the bin – they were INEDIBLE.

These are fantastic, didn’t change a thing. I made them at home on the bbq to take to a party and reheated them for about 15 minutes at 350°. They have a nice kick, served with carrots and celery and homemade yogurt blue cheese dressing. Huge hit at the party. Next time going to do them on the smoker.
Best wings I’ve ever made! Friends always ask me to make these. Thanks Guy!
WAY TOO SPICY! NOT GONNA MAKE THIS AGAIN.
