Directions

Prep the wings: Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels to help them crisp up.
Toss with Hi-West Tequila Lime BBQ Rub, baking powder, and olive oil in a bowl. The baking powder helps the skin get extra crispy!
Grill the wings: Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375-400°F).
Place wings on the grill grates and cook for 15-20 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until crispy and the internal temp reaches 175-180°F.
Make the tequila lime crema using the ingredients above and place in the fridge.
Make the dill pickle hot sauce: In a bowl, whisk together melted butter and The Diller by The Spice Guy.
Transfer the grilled wings to a large bowl and toss with the dill pickle hot sauce until evenly coated.
Serve with your homemade tequila lime crema and lime wedges for an extra kick of citrus.
