Ginger Mint Buffalo Wings

Indeed, a definite treat.  So go ride your bike or do your favorite workout, and on occasion give yourself a reward. Especially on the last day of summer!
2 lbs roaster winglets

Buffalo Wing Sauce:
1/4 cup Tabasco, Texas Pete’s or other favorite hot sauce
4 cloves garlic
1/2-inch fresh ginger, peeled and cubed
4 Tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp Kosher salt
lots of freshly ground pepper
palmful fresh mint, minced
palmful fresh basil, minced

Bring the wings to room temperature. This is important or the sauce will gum up on cold wings.

Whisk together the sauce ingredients.
Toss the wings with the sauce. If you have time, marinate for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. If you do, you’ll have to brings the wings back to room temperature again, and give them a good stir.
Heat a grill to high. Grill wings, flipping several times for about 15 minutes, or until they are very well cooked through and browned up nicely. Serve with celery sticks and a good blue cheese dip.

Serves 4 as appetizer.
