Grilling chicken wings:

• Preheat grill for indirect medium heat (350 degrees F). Use apple or cherry wood for this recipe.

Glazing and serving:

• While wings are cooking, prepare the wing glaze. Bring sauce ingredients, unsalted butter a light simmer in a pot over medium heat. Stir, reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes.
• Remove pot, and stir in unsalted butter. Cover and keep warm.
• Increase grill heat to high during the last 7-10 minutes (or move chicken wings to a hotter part of the grill) Let wings crisp up. Keep a close eye and watch for burning. 
• Once they have developed a bit of a crust and have reached an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F., remove from heat and place into a disposable aluminum pan.
• Pour heated sauce over the chicken wings. Using tongs, gently toss to coat. Place pan of wings back on the grill for 5-7 more minutes. Watch for burning and adjust accordingly.
