Just grilled this recipe tonight, they turned out fantastic! The herbs definitely made the skin deliciously crispy and the sauce was incredible. I added a small amount of mesquite, cherry and apple woods for some added flavor during the cook.

This recipe made me want to use the same seasoning to make wings, and use the white sauce as a dip. Cheers, keep the grate recipes coming!
