Kettle Grilled Creole Chicken Wings

These Creole Chicken Wings are smoky, crispy, and packed with mouthwatering Louisiana-inspired flavor. Grilled over high heat on the Char-Griller 22-Inch Kettle Grill, each wing is coated in olive oil for that golden-brown finish and seasoned generously with a blend of Certified Sazón and Creole spices. The result? Juicy, charred wings with just the right amount of heat and spice—no sauce needed.

“Smoky char, crispy skin, and Creole flavor that hits—no sauce required.”

The Char-Griller 22-Inch Kettle is designed for high-heat grilling and even heat distribution, making it ideal for crisping up chicken wings. Paired with lump charcoal, it delivers the smoky depth and quick sear that wings need to shine. Whether you're cooking for game day or backyard BBQ night, this setup ensures bold flavor in every bite.
