Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
9 large wings, rinsed and patted dry (or 12-15 smaller ones)
¼ cup hot barbecue sauce

For Dry Rub:
1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
½ tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
¾ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon. dried leaf oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon (packed) dark brown sugar

For White BBQ Sauce:
1 cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon Frank's Red Hot sauce
⅛ teaspoon cajun seasoning
1/16 teaspoon. cayenne
1/16 teaspoon honey or sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Rinse and pat dry wings, then set onto a baking sheet or in a shallow dish.
In medium to small bowl, combine rub ingredients until very well mixed.
Sprinkle half onto one side, turn over carefully, not disturbing the rub, and sprinkle other side until they are all coated well.
Cover and marinate for several hours or overnight. If in a rush, it's ok to go ahead and proceed, though. They're just a bit better if they have time to absorb the rub is all.
Heat grill to medium heat. Oil grates with a vegetable oil-soaked wad of paper towels using tongs.
Carefully place wings onto grill, minimally disturbing the rub, close lid and leave them be.
Cooking time depends on the size. Most regular-sized wings take about 16-20 minutes, but these took a total of 35! So use your best judgement. *Turn them halfway through cooking. And keep lid closed.
When they're done, (check the biggest one in the thickest part with a knife to see, or use an instant-read thermometer), baste them with the regular barbecue sauce, and cook on both sides for a total of 3-5 minutes longer to set the sauce.
Remove and let rest while you make the sauce if not already made.

To Make White Lightning Sauce:
Stir, then whisk, the mayo, vinegar and worcestershire until smooth. Whisk in rest of ingredients until well mixed. Chill for several hours or overnight, or serve immediately. (I like it best the next day, though.)
Serve wings hot, drizzled with sauce, and serve a little extra for dipping.
