3. Heat the Sauces on the Arteflame
- Place a small grill-safe pot or skillet on the flat top griddle over medium heat.
- Warm each sauce for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. This step helps blend the flavors and adds a smoky hint from the Arteflame grill.
4. Pair the Sauces with Grilled Wings

Pairing Suggestions
Drinks: Pair with a crisp lager, refreshing iced tea, or a sweet Moscato wine to balance the bold flavors.
Sides: Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and a creamy ranch or blue cheese dip. Loaded potato skins or cornbread also make excellent accompaniments.
Desserts: Cool down the heat with a creamy dessert like vanilla ice cream or a slice of cheesecake.
