Directions
1.
Heat a gas grill to medium high or prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire. Season the wings with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2.
Rub the grill grate with oil. Grill the wings, covered on a gas grill or uncovered over a charcoal fire, flipping every couple of minutes, until they're browned and crisp and completely cooked through, about 20 minutes; if there are flare-ups, move the wings to another part of the grill. If the wings begin to burn at any point, reduce the heat to medium or transfer the wings to a cooler part of the grill.
3.
As the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Stir the sauce and toss with the wings. Serve immediately on a platter and with plenty of napkins.
4.
Buffalo-Style Sauce with Rosemary & Lemon: In a small bowl, whisk the hot sauce, butter, rosemary, and lemon zest.
5.
Spicy Peanut Sauce: Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, oil, vinegar, lemongrass, chile sauce, half of the cilantro, and half of the mint in a mini or standard food processor. Process until smooth. The sauce should be slightly loose but still thick enough to coat the wings; if it isn't, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water and process again to loosen it. (The sauce thickens as it sits, so leave it in the processor and if necessary, thin it again just before using.) Reserve the remaining cilantro and mint to sprinkle on the wings after tossing.
6.
Asian-Style Barbecue Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, half of the scallions, and the chile flakes. Reserve the remaining scallions to sprinkle on the wings after tossing.
7.
Honey-Mustard Thyme Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk the mustard, honey, shallots, salt, pepper, and half of the thyme. Reserve the remaining thyme to sprinkle on the wings after tossing.
8.
Scallion-Jalapeno Salsa: In a small bowl, whisk the scallions, jalapeno, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Taste and add more salt, pepper, and diced jalapeno, if needed; the salsa should be spicy but not overrpowering. Let sit for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before serving.
9.
Sweet & Sour Orange Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients. Toss with the grilled wings.
