To start, the night before or a few hours before, salt all the chicken wings then place in the refrigerator to dry the skin out. The more moisture left in the skin will cause them not to get as crispy. Lay them out evenly after you salt them. If you crowd them together in a bowl the skin will remain wet.
About and hour before grilling remove the wings from the refrigerator the come to room temperature.
Fire up the grill, you want to bring the grates to 400ºF. While the grill is heating make the sauce.
In a sauce pan, add apricot preserves, honey and buffalo sauce. You're only heating the sauce up to melt the honey and the preserves. Once the sauce is smooth remove it from heat.
Then, add the sauce into a blender with garlic cloves. Blend the sauce until smooth and creamy.
Now, add black pepper to the chicken wings toss them in about 1-2 tablespoons of oil and place them on the grill. Give the chicken wings about 5 minutes on each side and continue repeating this time until the chicken wings come up to temp. Do not put the lid down over the chicken wings while cooking!
Once the chicken wings are done, give them a toss in the sauce then place back on the grill for 2-3 minutes each side.
Serve. Note: the sauce recipe will cover 19 full chicken wings. This will equal 19 drums and 19 flats equaling 38 total wings.
