Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (Georgia-style, sweet and tangy)
• 2 tbsp butter (melted)
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for spice)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins and light the paper.
3. Wait about 20 minutes for the grill to reach optimal cooking temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Wings

1. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels.
2. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
3. Melt butter and brush it lightly over both sides of the wings.

Step 3: Sear the Wings

1. Place wings on the center grill grate, searing them for about 2 minutes per side at 1,000°F.
2. Once seared, move them to the flat cooktop griddle to cook evenly.

Step 4: Prepare the BBQ Glaze

1. On the flat cooktop, mix honey, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Let it heat and thicken slightly.

Step 5: Glaze and Finish

1. Brush the BBQ glaze generously over the wings.
2. Continue cooking for about 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally.
3. Remove from the grill when the internal temperature is 175°F (as the meat will still rise in temp).

Tips

• Always pat the wings dry before seasoning for extra crispy skin.
• Adjust spices based on your heat preference.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
• Let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juices.

Variations

1. Spicy Georgia Hot Wings: Add extra cayenne pepper and a splash of hot sauce to the glaze.
2. Peach-Glazed Wings: Substitute honey with Georgia peach preserves for a fruity sweetness.
3. Mustard BBQ Wings: Use a Carolina-style mustard BBQ sauce instead of the sweet and tangy glaze.
4. Bourbon BBQ Wings: Mix bourbon into the BBQ glaze for a rich, smoky flavor.
5. Lemon Pepper Wings: Skip the BBQ sauce and use a buttery lemon pepper seasoning instead.

These Georgia Honey BBQ Glazed Chicken Wings are the perfect combination of smoky, sweet, and tangy flavors. Using the Arteflame grill ensures you get a crispy, juicy wing every time. Whether you're serving them for game day or a summer BBQ, these wings will be a hit with everyone!
