Trenholm Venom Grilled Chicken Wings

This recipe comes from our great friend Alice Richardson, A.K.A. “Sistah A”. She made them for us one memorable Labor Day weekend and we’ve been hooked ever since. You’ll need a head start to allow time for the wings to marinate, but they are well worth the wait.

Cheap beer – PLENTY – at least 1 beer per pound of chicken wings
1-3 bottles of Trenholm Venom hot sauce
5-10 lbs. of chicken wings, depending on your crowd

Put the chicken wings in one or more large resealable plastic freezer bags (or container of your choice) and cover chicken wings with plenty of cheap beer. Refrigerate the wings while they marinate in the beer — 8-24 hours.

Grill wings over medium-low heat, about 35 minutes, turning often to cook evenly. After the wings have cooked for about 35 minutes, or when the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, brush generously with Trenholm Venom. Grill for 2-3 minutes more and then serve.

Party Tip – marinate and grill the chicken wings as above, but near the end of grilling, divide the wings into four portions. Then, brush one portion with Trenholm Venom, a portion with Molten Golden, a portion with Larynx Lava and a portion with Daily Red. You’ll have four platters of wings with completely different flavors and an appealing variety of spice levels for your guests. Something truly magical happens to the Larynx Lava hot sauce with this recipe. It caramelizes and makes some of the best chicken wings we’ve ever tasted.
