Sauce

- ½ cup Ketchup

Instructions

1. Combine sauce ingredients into a saucepan and simmer on low for 25 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from heat to cool.

2. Mix garlic powder, salt, and pepper together and season wings on both sides

3. Set up grill for indirect cooking. (coals placed on only one half.)
