Grilled Double IPA Chicken Wings

I used Dizzy Pig IPA seasoning (my fave!) and a nice beer to make Double IPA Chicken Wings!” The flavor is out of this world!

January and February have hit us hard with the weather! We want to be out on the deck, listening to music and enjoying our weekends. Instead, we are constantly fighting the snow and cold. That’s ok. Mother Nature thinks she can get to us but we’ve got her beat at this game! We’ve got a cold-weather system down and we just adjust what we are going to grill!

We love grilling wings that have a mixture of flavors. The dry rub combination with the sauce offers a great flavor!

🍲 Preparation

Step One: In a pan over medium heat, sauté onions in olive oil for five to six minutes or until translucent. Add in the garlic and sauté for one more minute.

Step Two: Add in all of the ingredients and simmer.  Add salt and pepper, to taste. This is a great time for a dump-and-go step.

Step Three: Allow it to cool. Once it is cooled down, you can either put in the refrigerator overnight or take it directly to the blender.  

🔥 Grilling Instructions

Step One: Place a ¼-½ cup of Dizzy Pig IPA rub in a bowl. Rub that seasoning onto your wings. Get into all the crevices.

Step Two: Heat the grill to 350 degrees.

Step Three: Wait until it is fully heated and place the chicken wings with the IPA dry rub on the grate.  Let it cook for three to four minutes and then turn the wings over for another three to four minutes.

Step Four: We apply the sauce the same way each time but love it nonetheless. Using a long basting brush, brush on the sauce and allow it to glaze for a minute or so. Then add another layer on top of it. You can let it glaze another minute or so before flipping and repeating the process.

💡 Recipe Tips

One layer of sauce just isn’t enough to get the sticky, ooey-gooey sauce you want on a wing! Don’t skip the two-step method. The heat does the work for you by making the sauce thicken up and stick to the skin of the wings. Then when you apply sauce again, it doesn’t rub off the first layer of sauce. Try it!
