Chicken Wings on a Griddle

​

Hello Friends,

You can use a hammer to put a screw in the wall. But should you?

Not really—especially if you already have a drill lying around. That’s kinda how I feel about doing chicken wings on the griddle.

Now don’t get me wrong—I've tried wings a few different ways on the griddle. Straight on the surface, in a cast iron pan, even drying them out overnight like Blackstone Betty suggested. And sure, they tasted good. But after all that effort? I just don’t think they’re worth it. The griddle just feels like the wrong tool for the job.

Wings need indirect heat. They need time. They don’t like being babysat on a flat top. And when you’ve got better options like a grill, smoker, air fryer—or even your oven—it’s hard to justify using the griddle.

Honestly, unless I was tailgating or camping and the griddle was all I had, I wouldn’t bother again.

Here’s what I’d do instead:

• Use the oven or air fryer for the wings
• Use the griddle for something that really shines—smashburgers, cheesesteaks, fajitas, cowboy stir fry, you name it

If I had folks over for a football game? I’d crisp the wings in the oven and throw some fajitas or burgers on the griddle. Way more impressive, way less hassle.

So yeah—wings on the griddle? You can do it. But like that hammer and screw, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Have you done wings on your griddle? Maybe I'm missing something or you have a great recipe. Feel free to email me back your opinion. I'm always open to learning something new.
