Game Day Chicken Wings

Directions

1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to low heat.
2. Add the chicken wings to a large bowl and season with Blackstone Essentials Blend, smoked paprika, and Dill Pickle Chicken Seasoning. Add the cornstarch last and toss until the wings are lightly and evenly coated.
3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the griddle. Cook for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn the wings as needed to brown all sides.
4. While the wings cook, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and ranch seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to serve to allow the dressing to thicken.
5. Cover the wings with a griddle dome and cook for about 3 minutes. Turn the wings, check their internal temperature, then cover and cook for another 3–5 minutes as needed.
6. Continue cooking until the thickest part of the wings reaches 180–185°F (82–85°C), checking the temperature away from the bone. Remove individual wings as they finish cooking.
7. Melt the butter and combine it with the hot sauce in a large heatproof bowl.
8. Add the cooked wings to the sauce and toss until evenly coated.
9. Serve immediately with the homemade ranch, celery sticks, and carrot sticks.
