Ingredients
  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon tabasco chipotle sauce
  • 2 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon ancho chili powder
  • 2 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 3 tablespoon chinese 5 spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 jalapeño finely chopped, with seeds
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup tabasco original red sauce plus 1/4 cup
  • 24 chicken wings
  • 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
Directions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the barbecue sauce. Cover until ready to use or keep cold in the refrigerator.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients and the chopped jalapeño and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the oil and ¼ cup of the Tabasco Sauce, then add in the wings and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle liberally with the spice mixture and toss to distribute spices. Put the whole shebang in a plastic zipper bag, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to 24 hours.
  4. Grill the wings over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink near the bone, about 18 minutes. Make sure to turn them every few minutes to get an even, dark char. Remove the cooked wings from the grill and toss them in a clean bowl with the remaining Tabasco Sauce and the scallions until evenly coated.
  5. Serve the wings with the white barbecue dipping sauce.
