Tailgate The Americana Grills Way

Benefits Of Grilling With Charcoal:

If you want the true smoky grilling experience charcoal is king. Charcoal is available in a variety of flavors like mesquite, pecan, applewood, and hickory. Most charcoal users are familiar with the briquettes, but there are two forms of charcoal lump and briquette.

Lump charcoal: burns hot cleanly and pure and more can be added without the smoke that accompanies briquettes.

Briquette charcoal: is designed to burn evenly and steady and come in a variety from regular, quick light, or instant

Charcoal can be configured for a variety of cooking methods

Americana’s charcoal grills are portable and easy to set up. When you need to grill on the go like a tailgate Americana Grills Walk-A-Bout charcoal grill is the way to go.

Featured Tailgate Recipe:

Charcoal Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

3 pounds whole chicken wings

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/3 cup hot sauce

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder. In a large bowl, toss the wings with the salt mixture to evenly coat. Preheat a gas grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees F).

Place the wings on the grill, crowding them together so that they are all touching (this goes against the conventional wisdom of giving meat room so it doesn’t steam you want them to steam so that they stay moist). Grill, flipping the wings every 5 minutes, for a total of 20 minutes of cooking.

In the meantime, heat the butter, hot sauce, vinegar and honey in a saucepan over low heat and whisk to combine.

In a clean large bowl, toss the wings with the sauce. Turn the heat up on the grill to medium high. Use tongs to remove the wings from the sauce and put them back on the grill until the skins crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Put the wings back in the bowl with the sauce, toss and serve.
