INSTRUCTIONS

BBQ SASSY WINGS
- 3-4pounds chicken wings, tips removed; drumettes and flats separated
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 4 garlic gloves, minced
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided +2 tbsp
- 2 tsp TM SASSY
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F-450°F) by turning on all the burners for direct-heat grilling. Brush the preheated grill grate with cooking oil to prevent sticking by wiping it down with a folded paper towel that's been soaked in vegetable oil.
- Grill the wings: Toss the wings in the olive oil and the TM SASSY. Grill the chicken wings with the lid closed for about 8 minutes per side, rearranging them on the grill accordingly if you notice that some wings are cooking faster than others. Grilled wings are ready when the meat is no longer pink at the bone and the temperature in the thickest part registers at least 165°F. Remove from the grill and transfer to a large bowl.
- Make the wing sauce: Heat a small pot or saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and melt. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese. Stir together to combine and remove from heat.
- Coat the wings:Pour half of the garlic Parmesan wing sauce onto the grilled wings. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese onto the wings and toss to combine. Pour the other half of the wing sauce in a small bowl or ramekin to serve as a dipping sauce.
- Serve:Top the wings with chopped cilantro and remaining shredded Parmesan cheese. Serve with the reserved garlic Parmesan sauce and enjoy.
