Chicken Wings Two Ways

The great thing about wings is that there are literally thousands of ways to make them. These two sauces are two of my favorite ways of making them.

It’s time to make the sauces for Wings Two Ways. The sauces are easy, and should be made ahead. With two medium saucepans, add the ingredients for each sauce into the pans. Follow the directions and when finished set them aside to use later.

Next, turn on the grill to medium heat, and let’s make some Wings! Now that the grill is on, let’s get the wings ready in time for the big game!

Instructions
 

Instructions Wings:

  • In a large bowl, place the wings in the bowl and cover with the olive oil and salt and pepper.
  • Lay the chicken wings on the grill. Close the lid on the grill, turning often, until golden, about 10 to 15 minutes. Every grill is different, so as the wings are cooking, check for the doneness.
  • Also, when the wings are close to done, brush the sauce on the wings. Split the sauces between half of the wings. The presentation will be a crowd-pleaser. When the wings are done. Place them on a platter, with the wings on both ends and the sauces in the middle.

Instructions for Buffalo Sauce:

  • Combine the hot sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, granulated garlic, and salt in a pot and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer while stirring with a whisk. When the liquid bubbles on the sides of the pot, remove the sauce from the heat. Stir with the whisk and then set aside.

Instructions for Ginger Soy Glaze:

  • Stir brown sugar, soy sauce, water, white wine vinegar, rice vinegar, and ground ginger together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until reduced in volume by half about 30 minutes. Add more water if the mixture gets too thick. Set aside.
