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:
-
Prep the Wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
-
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.
-
Preheat the Arteflame Grill:
- Fire up your Arteflame Grill. Allow the cooktop to heat up evenly.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
