Grilled Buffalo Wings

Directions

• Prep Your Outdoor Electric Grill
• For Grilled Buffalo Wings, put 2½ Tablespoons wood pellets in the smoker tube. Evenly distribute the pellets so that they are in a single layer in the tube.
• Uncover grill. Plug into the outlet and press Reset, Test, and Reset again on the cord’s safety device.
• Place the smoker tube toward the back of the grill, close the lid, and preheat for 25 minutes on High.
• Prep the Buffalo Chicken Wings
• Remove the wings from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before grilling.
• Cut off and discard tips.
• Cut drums and flats apart and place them in a large bowl.
• Spray wings with canola oil.
• Sprinkle with ground black pepper and ground ancho chile pepper.
• Stir or toss to coat and season all sides.
• Grill the Buffalo Chicken Wings
• After your outdoor electric grill has preheated, place the wings on the grill. Keep the lid closed unless you are turning the food.
• Grill on Medium Heat (325F, for the Weber Q1400 the line between sections 3 and 4 – see Outdoor Electric Grill Cooking) for 20 minutes turning after 10 minutes with long grill tongs.
• Turn the grill to High Heat to crispen the skin and grill for 7 minutes.
• Turn wings over and grill for 5 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
• Move wings to a large bowl and add Buffalo sauce.
• Stir or toss to coat all sides evenly.
• Pour wings onto a plate and serve your grilled Buffalo wings!
• Clean Your Outdoor Electric Grill
• After removing the Grilled Buffalo Wings, close your outdoor electric grill lid and leave it on High for 10 minutes.
• Turn the grill off. Leave the lid closed for at least 10 minutes or until you are ready to clean the grill.
• While the grill is still warm, brush the grill grate with a stainless steel grill brush.
• Leave the lid open to let the grill cool down and wood pellets burn out.
• Lift the grates and use a plastic putty knife to lightly scrape debris from the bottom of them and the lower bowl through the hole into the drip pan.
• Wipe the grates and the inside of the lid with a dry paper towel to remove any remaining loose debris.
• Remove the aluminum foil drip pan liner.
• Careful to make sure the smoker tube is cool, empty ash from the smoker tube into the drip pan liner. Place a small amount of water on the ash in the pan to ensure the ash is wet and cold.
• Wipe the drip pan liner out with a paper towel into a trash can and wash it with hot water and soap. Dry and return to grill.
• Unplug the grill and replace the cover.
