    List of Ingredients




    Finger Lickin'-Lip Smackin Hot Wings


    20-25 chicken wings
    1/3 cup neutral tasting oil (save your olive oil for another recipe)
    5 large garlic cloves, finely minced (I love garlic.)
    1 teaspoon coarse salt
    1/4 teaspoon fresh black pepper
    1 teaspoon New Mexico chili powder.
    Coat the wings with these ingredients and allow to sit for 1 hour, or chill for as long as you need, or refrigerate overnight.

    Creamy Feta Dipping Sauce

    2 large garlic cloves
    3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
    1/2 cup plain yogurt
    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
    1 tablespoon dried parsley
    2 teaspoons dried oregano
    1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
    After the wings are grilled sauce.

    1/2 cup Cholula Hot Sauce

    2 tablespoons butter
    1/2 teaspoon New Mexico chili powder
    1/4 teaspoon smoked hot paprika
    1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
    juice of 1/2 a lemon

    Recipe




    While the wings are marinating, prepare the spicy after grilling sauce.

    After the wings are grilled sauce.

    Mix together in a microwaveable bowl, heat for up to 2 minutes, until the ingredients come together into a sauce.

    That didn't take long, let's go ahead and mix up the Creamy Feta Dipping Sauce, too.

    Creamy Feta Dipping Sauce

    Either in a food processor or with a wonderful hand blender, put all the ingredients together EXCEPT the feta. Blend them until smooth. Taste for salt (but remember Feta is salty) and pepper. If you like a thinner dipping sauce, trying adding milk 1 tablespoon at a time, up to 3 tablespoons. When you got that where you want it, process in the feta cheese with a few pulses. Leave some the feta in small bits throughout. Cover and refrigerate until it's time to serve the wings.

    NOW LET'S GRILL!

    Using either charcoal or gas for your grilling, get the temperature up to 325º-350ºF. Direct heat works well for the wings to give them semi-crispy skins. The short grilling time will ensure juicy wings. If you don't have a thermometer to measure your heat, do the hand count method.

    Hold your hand at grilling height over the coals. Count the number of seconds you can hold your hand there before the heat forces you to move it.

    2 seconds, hot coals: 400 - 450º F degrees
    4 seconds, medium coals: 350 - 375º F degrees
    5 seconds, low coals: 300 - 325º F degrees
    Give the wings one more good toss around in their marinade for a good oily coating, before putting on the grill. Grill for 5 minutes on each side, set a timer to make sure you don't overcook them.

    Remove from heat, transfer to medium to large size bowl. Pour on the spicy red sauce. Grab some BIG napkins. Pour the Creamy Feta Dipping Sauce into individual bowls, so you can double dip, and y'all are ready to eat!
