Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings, tips removed, drumettes and flats separated
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the Spice Rub:

• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar

For the BBQ Sauce (Optional):

• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep the Wings:

   • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

2. Mix the Spice Rub:

   • In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, and brown sugar. Sprinkle the spice rub over the wings, tossing to ensure they are well-coated.

3. Preheat the Arteflame Grill:

   • Fire up your Arteflame Grill. Allow the cooktop to heat up evenly.

4. Grill the Wings:

   • Place the wings on the flat Arteflame cooktop. Grill for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wings are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through on the inside.

5. Prepare the BBQ Sauce (Optional):

   • While the wings are grilling, combine all BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 5-10 minutes.

6. Toss the Wings:

   • Once the wings are cooked, you can serve them as is, or toss them in the BBQ sauce for a sticky, sweet, and smoky finish.

7. Serve:

   • Arrange the wings on a platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces.

Grilling Tips:

• Keep an eye on the wings as they cook to prevent burning. The outside edge of the Arteflame cooktop provides a cooler area, perfect for slower cooking.
• For extra smokiness, you can sear the wings on the center grill grate.
