Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Remove chicken wings from refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels to help achieve crispy skin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a seasoning blend.
- Add chicken wings to the seasoning mixture and toss until each wing is evenly coated with the spices.
- Preheat the Ninja Foodi Grill to 390°F using the grill function, ensuring the grill grates are properly inserted.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the grill grates, ensuring they are not overcrowded for proper air circulation.
- Close the grill lid and cook wings for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check the internal temperature of the wings using a meat thermometer; they should reach 165°F for safe consumption.
- During the last 3-5 minutes of cooking, brush wings with BBQ sauce, allowing the sauce to caramelize and create a glossy finish.
- Once cooked, remove wings from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve hot with additional BBQ sauce on the side for dipping, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Tips
- Always pat wings completely dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Let wings sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking to promote even heat distribution.
- Don't overcrowd the grill grates - give each wing enough space for perfect air circulation.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee wings reach the safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different BBQ sauce varieties or create your own custom blend.
- Let wings rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, keeping them incredibly juicy.
- For extra crispy skin, consider using baking powder in your seasoning mix.
