If you’re in the mood for crisp, saucy chicken, you’ll love Heath-Style Party Wings. They’re seasoned with two of my competition-winning rubs and doused in a spicy-sweet sauce. I bet you won’t be able to eat just one! I also share my secret method of getting crispy chicken wings every time, so listen up.
These wings come together in less than two hours, making them a great recipe for parties, tailgating, and guy's nights. I guarantee you won’t be leaving with leftovers!
Heath-Style Party Wings use the same seasonings I used to win 1st Place Ribs at the 2022 Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Cooking Competition. This base also worked great on wings, especially when paired with a homemade sauce!
This recipe uses simple kitchen ingredients to create magical Heath-Style Party Wings. You can use the seasonings in this recipe for other unique dishes, so save any leftovers! Here’s what you need to add to your shopping cart.
Here’s the primary equipment I used for this cook. You can find more of my grilling must-haves in the Equipment and Tools section.
You can see this recipe's detailed demonstration in my video and recipe card. Here’s a brief rundown of how I pulled these amazing wings together.
These wings were off the charts! They came off the grill with the perfect amount of char. If you love sweet wings with a hint of spice on the back end, you’ll love these Heath-Style Party Wings.
I love serving my wings with blue cheese dressing, but you can always use ranch. Serve these wings on their own, or add one of my Wood-Fired Pizzas.

Get your grill lit. We were around 400-425º on our Weber Kettle for this cook. We placed our charcoal in a vortex charcoal basket to cook our wings indirectly.
Place your party wings on a rack and spray with Duck Fat Spray.
Season both sides of your wings with Heath Riles BBQ Competition BBQ and Garlic Jalapeño Rub.
Place your wings in a bowl with 2 tbsp of corn starch. Toss your wings.
Place them back on the cooling rack and give the wings a light dusting with Heath Riles BBQ Competition BBQ Rub.
Place your wings on the grill in a circle around your vortex charcoal basket.
After 15-20 minutes, flip your wings. Our wings were hitting between 140-160º at this time.
After you flip your wings, make your sauce. Combine 1-2 tbsp Texas Pete Sriracha, 1/2 cup Checkered Pig Competition BBQ Sauce, and 2 tbsp honey in a melting pot. Add to the grill so it can heat up.
Once our wings were hitting around 190º internal, we dunked them in our sauce and put them over direct heat to get a little char. Allow them to caramelize for about 5-10 minutes.
Once your wings are where you like them, pull them off the grill and serve.
