These Grilled Buffalo Wings are crispy, smoky, and packed with spicy flavor—without the mess of frying. Tossed in a buttery hot sauce and finished right on the grill, they’re the perfect game day snack or summer BBQ favorite.
2 lbs chicken wings (split at joints, tips removed)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Buffalo sauce:
1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
1 tsp garlic powder
For serving (optional):
Ranch or blue cheese dressing
Celery and carrot sticks
Prep the wings:
Pat wings dry with paper towels. Toss with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Let sit while the grill preheats.
Preheat grill:
Heat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. Set up for indirect heat if possible (hot side and cool side).
Grill the wings:
Place wings on the cooler side of the grill and cook with lid closed for 20–25 minutes, turning occasionally, until mostly cooked through.
Crisp & sauce:
Move wings to the hotter side and grill 2–3 minutes per side until crispy and charred.
Make the sauce:
While wings grill, whisk hot sauce, melted butter, honey, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
Toss & serve:
Toss hot grilled wings in the Buffalo sauce and serve immediately with your favorite dip and veggies.
For extra crispy skin, dry the wings overnight uncovered in the fridge before grilling.
Want it spicier? Add cayenne to the sauce or use extra hot hot sauce.
Try a smoky twist with chipotle hot sauce or grilled jalapeños.
