Basic Easy Chicken Wings

3 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints, tips discarded

½ cup butter

1 cup hot sauce

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preheat grill for high heat.

Lightly oil the grill grate. Cook the wings 8 to 12 minutes on each side, until juices run clear. The larger pieces will take slightly longer to cook.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, and mix in the hot sauce, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.

Place wings in a large container with a secure lid. Pour sauce over the wings, and seal. Shake wings with the sauce until thoroughly coated.
