Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 cup buffalo sauce
• Blue cheese dressing, for serving
• Celery sticks, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them inside the grill.
2. Stack firewood on top of the soaked napkins.
3. Light the napkins and let the fire build.
4. Wait about 20 minutes until the grill is hot and ready for cooking.

Step 2: Prepare the chicken wings

1. Pat the wings dry with a paper towel.
2. Season them evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Let them rest while the grill heats up.

Step 3: Sear the wings

1. Place the chicken wings on the center grill grate to sear at 1,000F for about 2-3 minutes per side.
2. Once they develop a golden-brown crust, move them onto the flat top griddle to finish cooking.

Step 4: Finish on the cooktop

1. Move the wings to a medium-heat zone on the flat cooktop.
2. Let them cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally until the internal temperature reaches 170F.
3. Remove the wings from the grill when they hit 155F, as they will continue cooking off the heat.

Step 5: Toss in buffalo sauce

1. In a bowl, mix the melted butter with the buffalo sauce.
2. Toss the hot wings in the sauce until fully coated.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy

1. Plate the wings with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.
2. Enjoy your delicious Delaware Buffalo-Style Grilled Chicken Wings!

Tips

• Always pat the wings dry before grilling to achieve a crispier texture.
• Use wood chunks for extra smoky flavor.
• Adjust the heat zones by placing the wings toward the edge if they are cooking too fast.

Variations

1. Honey BBQ Wings: Replace buffalo sauce with a mix of barbecue sauce and honey.
2. Garlic Parmesan Wings: Toss wings in melted butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese.
3. Spicy Mango Wings: Use a mango habanero sauce for a fruity and fiery kick.
4. Lemon Pepper Wings: Season with lemon zest, black pepper, and melted butter.
5. Teriyaki Wings: Coat in a teriyaki glaze with sesame seeds.

Conclusion

Grilling chicken wings on the Arteflame gives them an unmatched crispy texture and delicious smoky flavor. Searing them first at 1,000F locks in those juices while finishing them on the flat cooktop ensures perfect doneness. Try different variations to find your favorite flavor!
