There are a lot of different types of sauces you can put on grilled chicken wings but classic honey BBQ remains among my top choices. This is a very simple recipe and is perfect for outdoor cooking. The chicken wings are placed onto the grill and brushed with a delicious honey BBQ sauce. The sauce has just the right amount of spiciness and sweetness to make it perfectly delicious. The sauce recipe does not call for any brown sugar but uses honey and molasses instead. The sauce gets a little heat from ground black pepper and Tabasco sauce. This sauce would also be great on any type of chicken or pork. Enjoy.
