Method

  1. Dry brine

    Toss wings with baking powder and salt. Rest uncovered in fridge 2 hours or overnight.

    Why: Baking powder dries skin for maximum crispness.

  2. Grill indirect

    Grill over indirect medium heat 20 minutes, then move to direct heat 10 minutes to crisp.

    Why: Indirect cooking renders fat before crisping.

  3. Sauce

    Warm BBQ sauce with butter until glossy.

    Why: Butter helps sauce cling to wings.

    Cook from here

  4. Toss and serve

    Toss hot wings in sauce immediately. Serve with celery sticks.

    Why: Hot wings absorb sauce best.

Chef's tip

For extra crisp skin, finish under the broiler for 2 minutes after saucing.
