Easy Chicken Wings on the Blackstone Griddle
The quest for the perfect chicken wings has led us to the mighty Blackstone Griddle, where crispy perfection is not just an aspiration—it’s a guarantee.
With its generous cooking space and even heat, you’ll whip up golden-brown wings that crunch in triumph with every joyous bite.
Say goodbye to cumbersome cook times, as these wings are all about quick flips and rapid sizzles, ensuring you’re not left waiting to tuck into that tender, juicy goodness.
And when the feast winds down, cleanup is as breezy as the great outdoors, leaving you more time for cheers and relaxation.
I saw someone on TikTok make some chicken wings and thought griddle-cooked wings would be better than deep-fried wings.
While a deep fryer can give you crispy wings, an outdoor griddle is perfect when camping.
Because the griddle surface is large, cooking chicken wings at a high temperature gives you crispy skin.
Whether you’re tailgating or backyard chillin’, prep your taste buds for a cookout superstar, the easy, irresistibly scrumptious Buffalo chicken wings on the Blackstone Griddle! 🍗✨
You can also use dry rubs on your chicken wings. It’s a personal preference.

How to Make Perfectly-Cooked Chicken Wings on the Blackstone Griddle
Preheat the Blackstone Grill – This will ensure that the griddle is hot enough to sear the chicken and create a delicious crust on the outside. Sprinkle with cooking oil.
Dry the Chicken Wings – Before placing the chicken on the griddle, make sure to rinse and dry them as much as possible. Excess moisture can prevent a good sear and lead to splatter. Use paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to pat the wings dry.
Place the Chicken Wings on the Griddle – Once your Blackstone grill is preheated, place the chicken wings directly on the flat top surface in a single layer. Make sure they are spread out evenly, so they can cook evenly.
Reduce Heat and Cover – After a few minutes of cooking on high heat, reduce the temperature to medium (around 350 degrees F). The use of the basting covers or aluminum foil will help trap heat and cook the wings more evenly.
Flip to Cook Other Side – As a general rule of thumb, we like to do some quick flipping for a few minutes. Flip at around 10 minutes to cook the other side. You want both sides to be a nice golden brown. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the wings.
Check Internal Temperature – After about 10 minutes of cooking on the second side, it’s important to check that your chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F with an instant-read thermometer. Food safety is a must when cooking chicken. This ensures that they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
Shake in Butter and Hot Sauce Mixture – Once your chicken wings have reached their desired internal temperature, remove them from the griddle and shake them in a mixture of melted butter and hot sauce for added flavor and spice.
Serve with Celery Sticks and Blue Cheese – No plate of buffalo wings is complete without some classic accompaniments! Serve your crispy Blackstone grilled chicken wings with celery sticks for added crunch and blue cheese dressing for dipping. Enjoy!
