Prep: Prepare grill for two zone grilling, targeting 400 degrees F in the cooking chamber. In a small bowl combine the salt, pepper, and corn starch. Place wings in a large bowl and then coat them with the seasoning (or toss all together in a large gallon size plastic bag).
Grill Direct: Place the seasoned flats and drums on grill grate over the direct heat. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes or until the wings have a nice sear. Flip and then continue grilling over direct heat for additional 3 to 4 minutes until the get another nice sear.
Grill Indirect: Once they have a nice sear, move to indirect side of the grill until they have reached 180 degrees internal temperature. The skin should be crispy (about 16 minutes total).
Make Sauce: Place a small cast iron saucepan on the grill over direct heat and add the hot sauce, hot honey, and butter. Stir and then let it slowly warm up. Continue stirring until the butter is melted and then remove from heat. Do NOT let it come to a boil!
Alternatively you can simmer on the stove top in a small saucepan.
Sauce Wings: Place finished wings in a large bowl and then toss them with the hot honey Buffalo sauce. Serve immediately with ranch, carrots, and celery. See notes on saucing.
