Beer Brined Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp Onion powder
• Smoky garlic buffalo seasoning (for rub)
• 1 tbsp Pink or kosher salt
• 2 bottles Beer of your choice
• Hot honey seasoning (for rub)
• 1 tbsp Red pepper flakes
• 3 lb Chicken wings (drums and flats)
• Tequila lime habanero seasoning (for rub)
• 1/2 tsp Dill
• 1 tsp Peppercorns
• 1/3 cup Franks hot (for sauce)
• 1 tbsp Melted butter (for sauce)
• 1 cup Brown sugar (for sauce)
• Some Molasses (for sauce)
• 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
• Roasted garlic onion seasoning (for rub)

Instructions

Step 1

Add the wings to the brine (make sure they’re covered)

Step 2

Refrigerate the wings for 8 hours, shaking every 2 hours to mix up the spices

Step 3

Drain the brine

Step 4

Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel. If you want extra crispy wings, leave them on a cookie rack for 3 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 5

Set up your grill for 375F

Step 6

Spread the wings, leaving room between them

Step 7

Grill for 15 minutes, then flip for 15 minutes more

Step 8

Remove them at 165F, allowing them to sit for 5 minutes which will increase the temperature internally for greater flavor

Step 9

In a small pan, melt the hot sauce and butter together. If you want any additions to the sauce, now’s the time to put them into the mix.

Step 10

* At this point your treatment of the wings can go one of three ways: 1: Toss the wings in the sauce 2: Leave the sauce on the side for dipping 3: Toss some; leave some, keeping enough sauce for dipping

Step 11

Put together your beer brine in a container with an air tight lid
