The Perfect Hamburger Recipe on a Kettle Grill

lbs 80/20 ground chuck

salt

tsp fresh cracked black pepper

cayenne pepper

lb thick cut bacon, precooked & chilled

hamburger buns

Mayonnaise

Mustard

arugula

Cheddar cheese, thin sliced

Red onion, thinly sliced

Pickles

Tomato, thinly sliced

Pre-blend black pepper, cayenne, and coarse salt together and set aside.

Break up the ground beef into looser pieces, and lay it out evenly in a sheet pan. This will make it easier to blend in our seasoning evenly.

Sprinkle in half of your seasoning blend and half of the chopped bacon bits.

Give the meat a light mix, avoid overworking the meat, this will dry it out.

Sprinkle in the remaining half of the seasoning blend and bacon bits, and toss to incorporate.

Portion out 6 loosely packed meatballs, this will make it easy to add any remaining meat to each meatball so that your patties come out even.

Take each meatball and gently press them out into patties only a couple of times, again avoid over compressing the meat so that it remains juicy.

Make a thumb indentation in the center of each patty, this allows the burgers to cook flat instead of ending up looking like a tennis ball.

Avoid lighter fluid when lighting charcoal, all you need is some paper towel pieces and a chimney starter.

Allow all of your natural lump charcoal to get lit and pour them out on the base of the grill in a pile.

(Optional:) Depending on your grill size, you may need to add another chimney full of unlit charcoal to the stack of lit charcoal.

Allow the unlit charcoal to catch fire, and spread all of the lit coals across the grill.

Place the grids on the grill, and close the lid to allow the grill to preheat for about 5 minutes.

Once preheated, place your burgers across the grill and allow them to sear with the lid open so that they get a great flame broil.

Once the burgers have juices rising to the top, and the sides begin to grey, they are ready to flip.

Once the second side of the burgers has a nice sear, move them to the outer edges of the kettle grill.

Place the lid on and shut the top and bottom vents down to only a slight crack opening. This will dwell down the temperature and allow the burgers to finish cooking with a great amount of smoke flavor.

After 2-5 minutes of smoke, the burgers should be ready to come off.

Place the burgers on a sheet pan and rest them for 5 minutes while you toast your buns. This is a good time to put some sliced cheese on the patties so that it melts while the burgers rest.

Dress your burger with your desired toppings, serve, and enjoy!

These easy and delicious dry rub wings are by far one of the best game day recipes you can make! You&#039;ll love these flavorful chicken wings.

Dry Rub Wings

paprika

chipotle powder

pepper

chicken wings

dry rub

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon chipotle powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Stir together until fully combined.

Place the 24 chicken wings onto a baking sheet and pat dry with paper towels. Separate the flats and drumettes, if desired, by cutting vertically through the joint.

Sprinkle 2½ tablespoons of the 5 tablespoons dry rub over the wings and rub in with your hands, then flip them over and repeat with the remaining rub.

Bake, grill or air fry the wings. Cook to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Dry Rub

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you prepare the wings with the instructions listed above.

Then line a clean baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place the seasoned wings in a single layer across the baking sheet.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and the skin is crispy.

Oven Baked Wings

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes while you season your chicken wings.

Then spray the air fryer basket with non stick spray and lay the chicken wings in a single layer across the bottom.

Cook for 18-20 minutes, stopping halfway through to shake the basket or flip each of the wings.

Once cooked through and crispy, allow the air fryer chicken wings to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Air Fryer Wings

While prepping the wings, preheat your grill to a medium heat. Just before you place the wings on the grill, oil the grates well so that the chicken wings don't stick.

Place the wings over direct heat and grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally so that both sides of the wings cook evenly.

For grilled wings, you'll want to add sauce to them with a basting brush before removing from the grill! Grab your favorite sauce and brush a generous amount onto each wing in the last few minutes of cooking and be sure to flip and cook both sides.
