Instructions

Marinate the Chicken Wings: Combine chicken wings, ½ cup soy sauce, and ½ cup Italian-style salad dressing in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag after squeezing out excess air and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to infuse.
Preheat the Grill: Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking when cooking the wings.
Prepare the Spicy Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt ¼ cup butter. Stir in ¼ cup hot pepper sauce and 1 teaspoon soy sauce until fully combined, then remove from heat and set aside.
Drain and Dry the Wings: Remove wings from the marinade and pat dry using paper towels to ensure crispiness during grilling. Discard any remaining marinade to avoid contamination.
Grill the Chicken Wings: Place wings on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring they are fully cooked and juicy.
Toss Wings in Sauce: Transfer the grilled wings to a large bowl, pour the spicy butter sauce over them, and toss well to coat all wings evenly before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the wings overnight.
Use an instant-read thermometer to monitor doneness and ensure food safety.
Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to control the heat level according to your preference.
Oiling the grill grate helps prevent the wings from sticking and tearing.
You can substitute Italian-style dressing with a vinaigrette if preferred.
