  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more if you can stand it)

  • 1 cup honey, divided

  • ½ cup butter, melted

  • ½ cup hot sauce


Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Wash wings well and pat dry with paper towels. Season wings with cayenne, salt, and pepper.
