These Buffalo Wings with Cow Lick & Swamp Venom from Dizzy Pig are some of the best wings I’ve ever had come off of the Big Green Egg (BGE).
As stated by Dizzy Pig, the swamp Venom delivers a punch in the mouth with lingering heat and a complex flavor profile that will satisfy any Egghead. It gets it influences from the south and is excellent on chicken among other things like Beef, Shrimp & Pork.
The Cow Lick Seasoning is one of Dizzy Pigs original spices and its delicious seasoning contains fresh ground pepper, earthy chilies, paprika, garlic and onion. Grilling these wings on the Big Green Egg is a family favor and a must try.
Setup the Big Green Egg for the Wings
This recipe is best at a lower temperature which keeps the chicken nice and juicy. Dial the Big Green Egg into 275-300 degrees. The wings will be cooked direct on the grate.
Ingredients
- 8 Tablespoons of Butter (Full Stick)
- 3 Tablespoons White Vinegar
- 1 1/3 Cup Franks Red Hot Sauce (Original)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon Swamp Venom Seasoning by Dizzy Pig

- Cow Lick Seasoning by Dizzy Pig
How to prepare the buffalo sauce for the Wings
Over medium heat start out by melting the butter.
Add the following once the butter has melted and mix together:
- 8 Tablespoons of Butter (Full Stick)
- 3 Tablespoons White Vinegar
- 1 1/3 Cup Franks Red Hot Sauce (Original)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon Swamp Venom Seasoning by Dizzy Pig
Let the buffalo sauce simmer for about 5 minutes stirring frequently. Once complete pull it off the heat and set it aside.
How to prepare the Cow Lick Chicken Wings for the Buffalo Sauce
Spread the wings out on something like a cutting board.
Moderately sprinkle the Cow Lick seasoning by Dizzy Pig on to the wings.
Flip the wings and repeat putting the Cow Lick on the other side.
Let the chicken cook to about 150 degrees and give them a flip so they can get some color on the other side as well. Let the chicken continue to cook until it hits the minimum temperature of 165 degrees per the USDA.
I prefer to pull them off at about 175 which give the wings a little bit of a crisp to them.
While these wings are incredible just like this spice them up with your buffalo sauce.

Toss them in the bowl until they are coated to your liking.
Plate them and enjoy these mouth watering Buffalo Wings with Cow Lick & Swamp Venom on the BGE. This is easily my favorite wing recipe I go to when I am craving some buffalo wings.
Which woods go with the Chicken to further ramp the flavor?
The best wood that compliments chicken nicely is fruit woods like Apple, Peach or Cherry. When cooking chicken I tend to use Apple wood as it seems to be more easily available at stores around me. It gives off a mild sweet and fruity flavor which really compliments Chicken among Beef and Pork.
Maple is another good wood to use when smoking chicken on the Big Green Egg. This also provides a sweet flavor to the meat. It is also a good wood to use on other meats like Pork, Ham and even Seafood.
