Key Ingredients + Substitutions
Be sure to see the recipe card below for a full listing of ingredients, instructions, and estimated nutritional information.
- Chicken Wings – love using a mixture of flat wings and drumettes. Just make sure they are fully thawed before cooking. Using wings that are frozen or slightly frozen results in a longer cook time and tough meat.
- Olive Oil – swap it out for avocado oil to make these crispy chicken wings Whole30/Paleo compliant.
- Salt and Pepper – a must when cooking any type of meat, but highly recommend adding the rest of the spices for the most incredible flavor.
How To Make Chicken Wings On The Blackstone
Step 1 – Mix up the spices and then toss with wings to coat.
Step 2 – Preheat the flattop griddle, drizzle with oil, and add the wings.
Pro Tip
The drumettes are thicker and will therefore cook for longer. Place them on the cooktop first, cook for 3-5 minutes, and then add the rest of the flat wings. That way they will all finish around the same time.
Step 3 – Rotate all of the chicken wings every 3 minutes until fully cooked.
Pro Tip – Track Internal Temperature!
Use a digital meat thermometer to keep track of the internal temperature at the thickest parts of the chicken wings. Pull them off the heat at around 162 degrees F. They will rise to a safe temperature of 165 degrees F while they rest.
| Type of Chicken Wings | Total Cook Time |
| Drumettes | 17-22 minutes |
| Flat Wings | 12-14 minutes |
👉 Always track the internal temperature to know when they are fully cooked.
Blackstone Chicken Wings with Sauce
- If you love a good sauce on your chicken wings (like this homemade buffalo sauce), simply place the fully cooked wings in a large bowl and toss in your favorite wing sauce after cooking.
- The chicken will need to rest for 5-10 minutes (to help redistribute the juices), so they can just rest in the sauce.
- Enjoy with any of your favorite dipping sauces (and napkins, of course)!
Best Ways To Serve Blackstone Chicken Wings
There are a variety of ways to enjoy these crispy and juicy wings:
- Keep it Simple: Enjoy right off the griddle – no sauce or dip needed!
- Dip It: Most people love the contrast of the hot wings in a cool dip. Highly recommend our herby ranch dressing or homemade blue cheese dressing.
- Enjoy with a Crunch: Serve alongside some carrots and celery sticks for that added crunch!
Erin’s Testing Tips: What We Learned
- A Blackstone griddle gets pretty hot, even on low. Make sure you preheat the griddle, but then keep it on low. The skin will get crispy without burning.
- Rotate every 3 minutes! This also helps to prevent any burn spots.
- Drumettes cook longer than flat wings. If you want them all done around the same time, put the drumettes on 3-5 minutes before the flat wings.
Blackstone Chicken Wings FAQs
It can be done but is not recommended. The cook time will be significantly longer and as the wings thaw, they will release quite a bit of water which is not helpful for a crispy wing. Let the wings fully thaw before cooking!
A neutral oil with a high smoke point is best, like avocado oil.
Simply place them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
They can be reheated in the microwave or toss them back on a hot griddle or skillet on the stove top to keep the crispness.

Notes

- Saucy Wings: after cooking feel free to toss in our homemade buffalo sauce or some bbq sauce if you want – don’t toss in sauce before cooking or the sauce will burn on the griddle and the wings won’t get crispy!
