  11. 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  12. 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
  13. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  14. 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  15. 1/4 cup white vinegar
  16. 2 tablespoons apple juice
  17. 2 tablespoons ketchup
  18. 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
  19. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  20. 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  21. 1/4 teaspoon chile flakes
  22. 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  23. 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter
  24. 1/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank’s RedHot
  25. 1 cup mayonnaise
  26. 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  27. 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  28. 1/4 cup buttermilk
  29. 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  30. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  31. 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
  32. 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  33. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Pat the wings dry, then toss with the All-Purpose Poultry Seasoning. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat a grill to medium low (about 250 degrees F).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Combine the vinegar, apple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, chile flakes and paprika in a nonreactive container and whisk to combine.
  7. Melt the butter over medium heat. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add the vinegar mixture and hot sauce and whisk to emulsify.
  8. 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.
