GRILLED BUFFALO WINGS



Grilled Buffalo Wings image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 pounds whole chicken wings
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup hot sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder. In a large bowl, toss the wings with the salt mixture to evenly coat.
  • Preheat a gas grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees F).
  • Place the wings on the grill, crowding them together so that they are all touching (this goes against the conventional wisdom of giving meat room so it doesn't steam; you want them to steam so that they stay moist). Grill, flipping the wings every 5 minutes, for a total of 20 minutes of cooking.
  • In the meantime, heat the butter, hot sauce, vinegar and honey in a saucepan over low heat and whisk to combine.
  • In a clean large bowl, toss the wings with the sauce. Turn the heat up on the grill to medium high. Use tongs to remove the wings from the sauce and put them back on the grill until the skins crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Put the wings back in the bowl with the sauce, toss and serve.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup arrowroot or cornstarch

This is a great substitution for buffalo wings! Can be made gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian. Make sure to coat your cookie sheet well with oil or they will stick. Husband and kids give this two thumbs up! Dip this in ranch or blue cheese for even more added flavor, but it doesn't need it.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Cauliflower

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ pounds cauliflower, broken into florets
¼ cup Buffalo wing sauce
1 teaspoon dry ranch dressing mix
1 teaspoon olive oil
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine cauliflower florets, Buffalo wing sauce, ranch, and olive oil in a large bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Pull out an extra-long length of aluminum foil and fold it in half so you've got a double layer. Place cauliflower mixture in the center, then pull over one side, folding the edges to seal. Then fold the remaining two edges. Don't seal the packet too tightly; you want to leave some room for the steam to expand.
  • Place foil packet directly on the grate and grill for 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and has tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or wilting.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for florets that are about 1-2 inches in size.
  • Marinate the cauliflower: Marinating the cauliflower in a mixture of olive oil, spices, and herbs helps to infuse it with flavor and prevent it from drying out during cooking.
  • Cook the cauliflower over high heat: This will help to create a slightly charred exterior while keeping the inside tender.
  • Make the buffalo sauce: While the cauliflower is cooking, you can make the buffalo sauce by combining hot sauce, butter, vinegar, and spices in a saucepan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and then remove it from the heat.
  • Toss the cauliflower in the buffalo sauce: Once the cauliflower is cooked, toss it in the buffalo sauce until it is evenly coated.
  • Serve the cauliflower wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or celery sticks are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Buffalo grilled cauliflower wings are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional chicken wings. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying snack or meal that everyone will enjoy. Experiment with different marinades and sauces to find your favorite flavor combination.
