Grilled Atomic Pineapple Wings

I brine or marinate my wings in Spicy Smoked Pickle brine before anything else happens. That's not optional, that's the foundation. By the time Spicy Carne Sutra goes on the outside, the flavor is already locked in from every direction.

On the grill, I flip every four minutes until I hit 175 internal. That's the number. Don't guess, don't eyeball it. When you're there, Atomic Pineapple Sauce goes on and it doesn't come off. The wings want it, and you're going to give it to them.

Now if Atomic was your safe word, don't panic. The Original BBQ Sauce steps in without missing a beat. But if you want my honest move on wings, Cherry Chipotle is a 4-time consecutive award winner for best wing sauce. Southern Mustard also knows exactly what it's doing on a wing. I've got the video up so you can watch the whole thing come together. No excuses for dry wings after this.
