Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2
Wash wings well and pat dry with paper towels. Season wings with cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Cook chicken wings on the preheated grill, brushing wings liberally with 1/2 cup honey while cooking, until cooked through and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 4
Pour melted butter into a large bowl; mix in hot sauce and remaining 1/2 cup honey.
Step 5
Remove wings from the grill and immediately toss them in hot honey butter sauce to coat. Serve wings wet or return them to the grill for 1 minute per side to set sauce.
