GRILLED WING ZINGERS

Grilled Wing Zingers image

My husband fine-tuned this recipe-and the results were spectacular! These spicy-hot grilled wings help make the party. You can easily adjust the heat level by altering the amount of chili powder and cayenne. The wings take a little time, but they're worth it. -Angela Roster, Greenbackville, Virginia
