- 1
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- 2
Warm the hot sauce and butter in a saucepan over low heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat, then stir until the hot sauce and butter are fully combined.
- 3
Grill the wings until they release from the grate, 10 to 15 minutes. Flip the wings and grill until mostly cooked through, about 10 minutes more.
- 4
Turn off the heat on one side of the grill. Dip 3 or 4 wings at a time into the sauce, then place them over indirect heat. Grill until cooked through and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted near but not touching the bones should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Transfer the wings to a large bowl. Cover with aluminum foil and set aside for 10 minutes or until ready to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
