Nothing says grilling season quite like chicken wings. These tailgate wings are doused in Charlotte, North Carolina based Ogre Sauce. For chicken wings that have a classic, smoky, and tangy finish, we suggest using the original Ogre Sauce. But, if you're looking to turn up the heat a bit, opt for the Hot Ogre Sauce (or a mixture of the two) and match the spice level to your preference.
These classic chicken wings pair perfectly with blue cheese dressing, which you can serve with carrots and celery for crunchy additions.
Combine all spices in a large bowl to make rub. Toss wings in rub until thoroughly coated. Let wings marinate in rub for 1 hour. While wings are marinating, preheat grill.
Brush grill with olive oil to keep wings from sticking to grate, then place wings on grill. Turn every 3 minutes to keep from burning. Grill wings until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Combine butter and hot sauce in a large bowl and toss wings in hot sauce mixture. Serve with blue cheese dressing.
