Instructions
Marinating the Wings
Mix all of the ingredients except for the wings in the small bowl.
Put the wings in the ziploc bag.
Add the sauce to the bag and seal it, while squeezing out any air.
Flip the bag over a few times in all directions to distribute the sauce over the wings.
For best flavor, marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 24 hours. If you are marinating for longer than an hour, flip the bag over once in a while to make sure all of the wings are evenly covered. You can also skip this step if you are in a hurry.
To Grill
Warm up the grill on medium heat for a few minutes.
Spread the wings out on the grill, skin side down first.
Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping occasionally.
To Bake
Pre-heat the oven to 400ºF.
Cover a baking sheet with foil and place a baking rack in it.
Place the wings skin side up on the baking rack.
Bake for 45 minutes at 400ºF.
To make the skin extra crispy, cook the wings under the broiler for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully since they can burn easily.
Notes
Replace the fresh garlic with 4 teaspoons of jarred pre-minced garlic if desired.
You can substitute 2 Tablespoons of soy sauce and eliminate the salt if you are not looking for a gluten free option.
Adjust the hot sauce to your taste. Reduce to ¼ teaspoon or eliminate it if you like less heat. Increase to 1 teaspoon for more heat.
If you are baking the wings and don't have a baking rack, cook the wings on the baking sheet skin side down for 25 minutes. Then flip them over so the skin is facing up and bake for the rest of the time.
If you are grilling wings, make sure to monitor them closely since the fat from the skin causes a lot of flare ups and they burn easily.
