After much convincing, I’ve wrangled a sort-of recipe from my future brother-in-law Norman for his barbecue hot wings. He prides himself on his secret chicken wings recipe…but I suppose the desire to get on the blog overcame that pride. 😉  He even took these shots of the prep process for me since I didn’t have my camera handy. Amazing how a NYC fashion photographer can even make raw chicken look good.
Last week on the Cape Norm grilled up some barbecue wings and drumsticks for the family – spicy wings and not-so-spicy drumsticks. They were delicious, so I wanted to share the sauce recipe with you. Â If you remember from this week’s menu post, he also grilled up some amazing corn….that recipe is still to come. You’ll love it.
Hot BBQ Chicken Wings (or Not-So-Hot Drumsticks, if you prefer)
From Norman Nelson
Author: Jane Maynard
Recipe type: Main Dish, Poultry
Ingredients
- Stubbs spicy barbecue sauce for hot wings; Stubbs regular bbq sauce for drumsticks and breasts
- Soy sauce
- Vinegar
- French’s yellow mustard
- A1 steak sauce
- Honey or maple syrup
- Hot sauce (to taste, depending on how hot you want it)
- Allspice
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic salt
Instructions
- In terms of proportions – a few cups of the barbecue sauce should do it. Norman says the secret trick is the yellow mustard – maybe 3 Tablespoons or so, don’t be shy. For the vinegar, soy sauce, steak sauce and honey – I would say a tablespoon or two. A teaspoon or so of the spices should suffice. (I’ll check with Norm to make sure I got all this right!)
- Mix sauce ingredients. Rinse and pat dry the chicken pieces. Coat chicken with sauce. Sprinkle with fresh tarragon. Let marinate for 2-5 hours. Add a little olive oil before cooking so the chicken doesn’t stick to grill.

Yum! My boyfriend is always wanting me to make him chicken wings, but I always resist for some reason. But these might help me change my mind! They look delicious 🙂
Mmmmmmm. Chicken wings – awesome. Looks like a good recipe 🙂
Hello there just wondering. I made some hot sauce recently, and after a few weeks the other ingredients separated from the vinegar. I have to shake it to get it to come back together which is annoying. How do commercial brands prevent the sauce from separating? I doubt it went bad because things in vinegar keep practically forever..
