Equipment
- grill
- tongs
- prep bowls
- measuring cups and spoons
- instant read thermometer
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken wings
- ¼ C Olive oil +more as needed
- Creole seasoning to taste
- 1 T cornstarch
- 2 C mayonnaise
- 3 T horseradish
- Dash of hot sauce
- ¾ C distilled white vinegar
- ½ C apple juice
- 1 T black pepper
- 1 lemon zested & juiced
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
For the Alabama White Sauce
- Add the mayonnaise & next 9 ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir until combined. Season with salt &pepper as needed
For the Wings
- Preheat grill to 375 degrees. Meanwhile, slather wings with olive oil and coat with seasoning and cornstarch until well covered.
- Once the grill is preheated, place the wings on the grates and cook until the skin becomes crispy. Flip & repeat. Once this occurs and the internal temperature registers at least 165 degrees (I prefer 175 degrees for a crispier wing exterior), remove the wings from the grill.
To Finish
- Add the wings to a large mixing bowl and top with prepared sauce. Toss until the wings are well-coated. Serve with your sides of choice and enjoy!
