The Playbook
Kick-off
Rinse and thoroughly pat dry chicken wings with a paper towel.
Mix all dry spice ingredients together in a small bowl. In a large bowl, put wings and spices together and *RUB* spices into the wings with your hands.
Set Up a Zone Defense
Pile lit coals onto one side of the grill — giving you a “direct heat” zone and an “indirect heat” zone
Get the 1st Down
Grill seasoned wings over direct heat for about 5-7 minutes each side. Move to indirect heat. Cover and let cook for another 10 minutes.
Remove from the grill and serve, or go for extra yardage below.
Call in Special Teams
The Point After: After removing from the grill, mix with a generous portion (about 6 ozs.) of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. Any flavor will do.
2-point conversion: Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing.

Thanks, Court. Max is the Wing King! Can I recruit him to man the grill this Sunday!? He’s that good.
