High and Fast Suicide Wings Recipe

This High and Fast Suicide Wings recipe delivers everything barbecue lovers crave—crispy grilled chicken wings coated in a rich, smoky, sweet, and fiery homemade sauce. Featured on Maddie and Kiki’s BBQ Barn Season 2, these wings are marinated for hours in a bold blend of chipotle peppers, dark beer, molasses, vinegars, warming spices, and brown sugar before being grilled until perfectly charred and juicy. Finished with an extra coating of the reserved sauce, every bite is packed with layers of smoky heat and irresistible barbecue flavor.

The Inspiration

Chicken wings have become one of the most beloved barbecue foods around the world because they’re easy to share, fun to eat, and endlessly customizable. While traditional buffalo wings rely on hot sauce and butter, this recipe takes inspiration from classic barbecue flavors, Caribbean spice blends, and smoky Southwestern cooking to create something much bolder.

On Maddie and Kiki’s BBQ Barn Season 2, Maddie and Kiki Longo embrace the “high and fast” grilling method, cooking the wings over medium heat to develop crisp, caramelized skin while keeping the meat exceptionally juicy. The homemade sauce combines dark beer, apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, chipotle peppers in adobo, molasses, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and aromatic spices to create remarkable depth of flavor.

Marinating the wings for several hours allows every bite to absorb the complex sweet-and-spicy marinade before grilling. A final toss in reserved sauce intensifies the flavor and creates the sticky barbecue coating that wing lovers can’t resist.

Ingredients

• 20 whole chicken wings (flat, drumette and wingette attached) rinsed and patted dry
• ½ cup unseasoned rice vinegar
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp ground coriander
• 2 tsp ground cloves
• 2 tsp ground allspice
