Ingredients
- Chicken Wings - You can use flats, drummettes, or a combination. Note that larger wings will take longer to cook. Make sure you blot the wings with paper towels before seasoning.
- Salt - Use your favorite type of salt.
- BBQ Seasoning - I like to use my homemade BBQ Seasoning. Feel free to experiment with dry rubs and spices. A simple blend of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and fresh ground black pepper are nice.
- Baking Powder - This is the secret to the crispiest wings. It is used to raise the pH of the chicken skin which makes the wings extra crispy. Ensure it's an alkaline non-aluminum baking powder to avoid any aftertaste issues. Baking soda is not recommended due to its potential soapy taste.
- Avocado Oil - Chosen for its high smoke point, making it ideal for cooking on the griddle. If unavailable, other high-smoke-point oils like canola or vegetable oil can be used instead.
- Buffalo Sauce - This brings the classic wing flavor. Feel free to substitute with any sauce you love - honey sriracha and Japanese barbecue sauce are two other favorites of ours.

Tips and Tricks
- Uniform Size: For even cooking, try to select wings that are roughly the same size. This ensures that all your wings cook through evenly and finish at the same time.
- Avoid Crowding: When placing your wings on the griddle, make sure they're not touching. Crowding prevents the wings from cooking evenly and might lead to steaming rather than frying, affecting the texture.
- Monitor the Flame: If your griddle has different temperature zones, use them to your advantage. Start with a high flame for initial sear then move to a cooler part for slow cooking. This technique ensures perfectly cooked wings with a juicy interior and crispy exterior.
- Rest Your Wings: Once cooked, give your wings a brief rest period off the grill before tossing them in sauce. This helps to avoid the sauce from becoming too runny, sticking better to the wings and enhancing the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your chicken wings with Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing, Buttermilk Blue Cheese Dressing, or your favorite wing dipping sauce. For a complete meal, serve with celery sticks and carrot sticks. These wings also pair well with other finger foods like air fryer curly fries and Blackstone frozen fries.
