Grilled Sesame Buffalo Wings

Grilled Sesame Buffalo Wings

Yield: 4 servings  |  Prep: 15 min  |  Marinate: 1–4 hrs  |  Cook: 25 min  |  Difficulty: Easy

Crispy grilled chicken wings marinated in a bold sesame dry rub, then tossed in Global Wok Sesame Buffalo Sauce and finished over high heat for a smoky, caramelized crust. The ultimate game-day wing — bold heat, nutty sesame depth, and that irresistible char you can only get from the grill.

Pro Tips

  • 🍗 Dry brine overnight: Applying the dry rub and refrigerating uncovered overnight produces the crispiest skin possible — worth the extra planning.
  • 🔥 Two-zone grilling: Starting on indirect heat ensures the wings cook through without burning the sauce. The final blast on direct heat creates the caramelized crust.
  • ✈️ No grill? No problem: Bake wings at 425°F on a wire rack for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, then broil for 3–5 minutes after glazing.
  • 🌶️ Turn up the heat: Add a splash of Global Wok Agave, Ginger & Sriracha to the glaze for an extra fiery kick.
  • 🍺 Pairs with: A cold IPA, ice-cold lager, or a sparkling lemonade for the non-drinkers at the table.
