These Sticky Pepper Dip Wings bring bold flavor and serious heat straight from the grill. A vibrant homemade pepper dip—packed with lemongrass, chili flakes, and fresh cilantro—forms the foundation of a sticky, sweet, and spicy glaze. Grilled to crispy perfection using a two-zone method, the wings are tossed in a hoisin and hot honey sauce that clings to every bite. Finished with a pop of fresh herbs or sesame seeds, these wings are perfect for BBQ spreads or game-day feasts.
