Remove the wings from the packaging and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Toss the wings in olive oil and season with Dad's All Purpose Rub.
Preheat the grill to 375-400 degrees and set for indirect heat.
Place the seasoned wings directly on the grates and cook for about 45-60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Flip them half way through.
While the wings on the grill, combine all the cowboy butter sauce ingredients - with the exception of parsley and chives - in a small sauce pan and place on the grill.
Once the butter is melted and all the ingredients are well combined add the parsley and chives. Mix and remove from the grill.
Brush the sauce over the wings just just before removing them from the grill.
Remove the cowboy butter chicken wings from the grill and rest 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

DO NOT wash the chicken after it’s been removed from the packing. This will only add moisture. The cooking process will kill off any bacteria on the meat.
DO NOT drench the chicken wings in oil. Light drizzle is enough.
DON’T BE SHY on the seasoning. Some of the seasoning will either burn off during the grilling process or fall off. Adjust heat levels in the sauce to your liking.
Grill time will depend on the outside temperature. Grilling in freezing cold weather will impact and slow down the cook time and heat levels. Be sure to keep an eye on those wings and temps.
Grilling wings to a 175-185 degrees internally on high heat will not dry them out. Meat around the bone needs more time to cook for the fat to break down and tenderize the meat.
