Method
Make the BBQ Sauce:
Step 1
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine garlic, brown sugar, Red Gold Folds of Honor Ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, hot honey, and vinegar.
Step 2
Stir and simmer for 5–7 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Step 3
Remove from heat and let cool (it will continue to thicken as it sits).
Prep the Wings:
Step 1
Preheat a grill to medium heat (about 375–400°F).
Step 2
Pat wings dry. In a large bowl, drizzle with avocado oil and Dijon mustard.
Step 3
Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, ancho chile powder, and cayenne if using. Toss to coat.
Grill the Wings:
Step 1
Place wings over indirect heat. Grill for 20–25 minutes, flipping every 4–5 minutes for even cooking.
Step 2
Once cooked through (internal temp 165°F), move wings over direct heat. Grill 1–2 minutes per side for charred edges.
Step 3
Toss wings in BBQ sauce or brush on during the last few minutes of grilling for a sticky glaze.
