Inspired by some korean-ish hot wings seen at more please ( http://moreplease.posterous.com/sriracha-wings-0 ), I decided to redeem my grilling mojo after all but detroying some drumsticks earlier this month.

I happened across a sixer of PBR at the corner bodega (score!), and knew I had half a bottle of some stubbs in the fridge. This equals an old standby mop that is one of my favorites:

Thats 1 can of beer to about a 1/2 of stubbs. So i use that mop throughout grilling the wings for about 30-35 minutes on a pretty mellow/low heat. I turned the wings 3 or 4 times, moving them around the grate to give the right heat to the various wing sizes.

Meanwhile I'm making the finishing buffalo type hot sauce. Here's what I use:

Rougly 2/3rds cup franks (gotta be franks) hot sauce, 1/3rd cup red wine vinegar, a heavy tablespoon of butter, and a 3 second heavy squirt of ketchup. Here it is in the pot... If you stick your nose in there for a whiff you'll start coughing immediately. It's good stuff:

Back to the grill. It was super dark outside tonight so I didn't snap any pictures while grilling, but here's what the wings (bell and evans, btw) looked like after those 30-35 minutes on the grill, moped 3-4 times. These things were awesomly crisp:

They were so crisp, I didn't want to overdo it on the sauce coating for fear of creating a soggy mess. So I tossed a moderate amount (maybe 1/3rd or at most 1/2 of the pot) of that buffalo hot sauce. Here's what it looked like after all tossed up:

These were really really great. Crispy, hot, moist and tender meat inside. I got my grilling mojo back, and I'm officially ready for BBQ season.
