The Basic Fundamentals
Grilled & slathered with an effortless shortcut barbecue sauce, this top rated tailgating favorite sails into an end zone of big flavor. Refrigerating the wings uncovered will dry them out yielding extra crispy chicken.

BBQ Wing Seasoning
Honey-Bourbon BBQ Sauce
Place the wings in a single layer on a wire rack over a half sheet pan. Pat both sides of each wing dry with paper towels. Refrigerate uncovered for 4 hours or overnight. Preheat the grill to Medium-High heat, about 350 to 400 degrees. Rub the chicken with the BBQ Wing Seasoning. Coat the wings directly with non-stick cooking spray. Grill over direct heat for 20 to 25 minutes, turning often. Brush 1/2 cup barbecue sauce mixture over the wings. Cook an additional 5 minutes. Remove the wings from the grill once the chicken registers 160 degrees. Serve the wings with additional Honey-Bourbon BBQ Sauce.
The Extra Point
Toss the grilled wings in melted butter & hot sauce for a more traditional flavor.

How To Measure Brown Sugar
Properly measuring ingredients for recipe applications is ideal for successful results. Follow these tips & apply them when preparing recipes that call for it.
The Technique
Sugar acts as a spreading agent in recipes so it’s important that it is measured properly for use in recipe applications. Pack brown sugar in measuring cups. The back of a smaller cup pressed tightly over the surface will help get the job done quickly. Use a butter knife to swipe over the surface for a level, even measurement.
