Carolina Hot Wings Are Packed With Spicy, Vinegary Flavor That You'll Love for Your Next BBQ!

Print Recipe

Carolina chicken wings are known for being spicy, vinegary, and absolutely delicious! It's so easy to make these classic Carolina Hot Wings at home, and now that's it's prime grilling season, why not give them a try?!

Plan to marinate your wings for at least 1 hour from optimal flavor. This is really the easiest wing recipe ever - just throw your marinade in a ziploc bag, get soaking in the fridge, then fire up the BBQ! Serve these with your choice of side, but the usual suspects (like corn on the cob or potato salad) will work just fine for a meal you will love!
