Instructions
1. Prepare the Arteflame Grill
- Start by firing up your Arteflame grill using vegetable oil-soaked napkins to ignite the wood or charcoal.
- Let the grill heat for 20 minutes, ensuring the flat top reaches medium-high heat for even cooking.
2. Season the Chicken Wings
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the wings on the flat top griddle near the center for searing and move to the edges for slower cooking.
3. Grill the Wings
- Grill the wings on the flat top griddle, turning every 5-7 minutes for even cooking.
- Continue cooking until the wings are golden brown and crispy, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (approximately 25-30 minutes).
4. Prepare the Sauces
Classic Buffalo:
- In a small bowl, mix hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and vinegar. Set aside.
Honey BBQ:
- Combine barbecue sauce, honey, and chili powder. Warm the mixture slightly on the flat top if needed.
Spicy Garlic:
- Stir together hot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper for a fiery kick.
Asian Zing:
- Whisk soy sauce, honey, ginger, lime juice, and sriracha until smooth.
Parmesan Garlic:
- Mix melted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and ranch seasoning. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Toss the Wings in Sauce
- Once the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Divide the wings into batches and toss each batch in one of the sauces.
- Return sauced wings to the grill for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the flavors slightly.
6. Serve and Enjoy
- Arrange the wings on a large platter, grouped by sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, Parmesan cheese, or sesame seeds for extra flair.
- Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Tips for Success
- Grill to Perfection: Use the hot zones on the flat top for crisping the wings and cooler zones for finishing.
- Customize the Heat: Adjust the spice levels in each sauce to match your preference.
- Double the Sauce: Prepare extra sauce for dipping alongside the wings.
- Caramelize the Sauce: Finishing the sauced wings on the grill adds depth to the flavor.

Sides:
