That looks so pretty!

When I grill them, it's salt and pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne. Then lightly sauced. If I use Frank's Hot Buffalo, I skip the cayenne. It's hotter than Frank's Red Hot or Frank's Buffalo IMO.

To the poster who mentioned BW-3...I think that's where a lot of us fell in love with wings. It's not the same place now as way back then. But one thing I love there that's better than anywhere else is the Spicy Garlic sauce. It's not that spicy, but it's really good. When I occasionally order from there, I'll get half Spicy Garlic and half Hot. I can't do the Wild any more!

Last night, fish cakes (like crab cakes but with white fish) with a lemon pepper aioli.
Tonight, ground pork "egg roll in a bowl"

I also began an 8-day ferment on a bunch of excess chile peppers from our garden. Onion and garlic as well, eventually it will be homemade hot sauce. I'm guessing it will be blazing hot, but we'll see.

I wasn't very hungry tonight, so I ate an orange and a bowl of cereal.

Buy a new grill for chrissakes. I can't believe you cook on that thing.

Could I just get new grates? Is it just the case of measuring the current grate and doing an exchange?

Or use a pressure washer to clean them, but then coat them with a little food grade oil to prevent them from rusting. All that ash and residue could get you sick, especially if you cook other meats besides chicken.

I can't even imagine what it looks like under the grates. Honestly, I've never seen anyone cook on a grill that dilapidated. Buy a new grill. It's time.

clean the grates, but more importantly take the grates off and clean what is inside - flare-ups will be reduced

I hope you remove the skin before eating that chicken! I will not eat excessively charred food.
