Cook Time Not specified (grill to 165°F+, typically cooked to 190–200°F)

Summary

Crispy, charred wings marinated in tangy pickled jalapeños, seasoned with fajita spices, and basted in a buttery Cholula glaze for a spicy, smoky bite.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken wings and the entire can of pickled jalapeño peppers (including liquid) into a vacuum-seal bag or food-safe container. Marinate for 4 hours, adjusting time to your desired spice level.

  2. 2

    Preheat the grill: Set up for medium to high heat direct grilling on your preferred cooker.

  3. 3

    Prep the wings: Remove wings from the marinade and pat dry. Season all sides with Meat Church Dia de la Fajita seasoning and let sit for at least 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill the wings: Place wings on the grill. Flip and move them frequently to develop an even char while cooking through.

  5. 5

    Make the baste: Melt the butter and stir in your desired amount of Cholula hot sauce to create a basting mixture.

  6. 6

    Baste and finish: Baste wings frequently with the butter–hot sauce mixture while grilling. Cook to at least 165°F internal temperature; for extra char and crispiness, continue to 190–200°F.

  7. 7

    Serve: Remove from the grill and enjoy immediately.
