Barbecued Hot Wings

Barbecued Hot Wings

12 whole chicken wings (about 2-1/2 pounds)
  1 bottle (8 ounces) Italian salad dressing
  1/2 to 3/4 cup hot pepper sauce
  1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  2 tablespoons butter, melted

* Directions:
Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tips.
In a bowl, combine salad dressing, pepper sauce and cayenne. Remove 1/2 cup for basting; cover and refrigerate. Place remaining sauce in a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.


Discard marinade. Grill wings, covered, over medium heat for 12-16 minutes, turning occasionally. Add butter to the reserved sauce; brush over wings.

Grill, uncovered, 8-10 minutes longer or until juices run clear, basting and turning several times. Yield: 6-8 servings.
Editor's Note: Uncooked chicken wing sections (wingettes) may be substituted for whole chicken wings.
