Thank you to Doug Pill for sharing his famous Spicy Italian Wings with us, here is his story.
For many years, my friends have enjoyed wings on the #pillpatio. Over the years we have tried hundreds of recipes ranging from traditional Buffalo to exotic combinations. We have our favorites, but continue to develop new recipes on a regular basis. This particular recipe was originally found by my lovely wife (Jodi) via an online source. Over the course of multiple attempts, we switched up the ingredients +&- until we found just the flavor we were originally looking for. Our desire for this recipe was a subtle sweet with a hint of spice. I have found that cooking wings in a high temperature pit placed off the heat results in a juicy and tender/fall off the bone experience.
Good luck with your wing experience and look for new & exciting recipes to come.
Doug

I just wanted to point out that these are chicken wings not Italian wings. While some Italians are like angels, the wing thing is a rumor.
