If you haven't tried Ashley's Wild Card White Sauce, here's your chance to experience the magic. The brine helps keep them from drying out and makes them cook much more evenly so the final product is perfection. Once you dip those crispy wing in the tangy Alabama white sauce, you'll understand the obsession.

Instructions

  • Step 1: Chef Note: Ashley's Wild Card While Sauce is a great substitute for the homemade white sauce in this recipe. Enjoy!
  • Step 2: Heat gallon of water to a simmer, add the thyme, salt and crushed red pepper flakes. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
  • Step 3: Add the chicken to the brine and place in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours.
  • Step 4: Remove the wings and pat dry with a paper towel. Season the wings liberally with the Ray's Loco Gringo Rub.
  • Step 5: Place on the recteq at 400°F. Cook the wings for about 60 minutes until a temperature of 185°F is reached.
  • Step 6: Once the wings are crisp, serve with Ashley's Wild Card White Sauce as a delicious dip.
