Crispy, golden chicken wings with a cheesy Parmesan crust and a buttery garlic kick.

When it comes to wings, these Parmesan & herb-crusted beauties are top-tier. Juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and loaded with bold flavours thanks to the magic combo of smoky paprika, garlic, and Parmesan. The Ninja Woodfire’s air-fry mode crisps them up perfectly, while a drizzle of warm garlic butter takes things to the next level.

Ingredients

For the Wings:

For the Marinade:

For the Coating:

For the Garlic Butter Drizzle:

For Garnish::

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Wings:

    • In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic paste, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
    • Toss the chicken wings in the marinade until evenly coated.
    • Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, but if you can, let them soak up that flavour for 12 hours in the fridge.

  2. Prep the Coating:

    • In a separate bowl, combine Parmesan, panko, oregano, garlic powder, and parsley.
    • Remove the wings from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
    • Coat each wing in the Parmesan-panko mix, pressing firmly to get an even crust.

  3. Fire Up the Ninja Woodfire:

    • Preheat the Ninja Woodfire Grill to 180°C using the air-fry function.
    • Throw in a handful of fruity wood pellets (apple or cherry works great) for a subtle smoky punch.
    • Lay the wings in a single layer—don’t overcrowd them, or they won’t crisp properly.

  4. Cook the Wings:

    Air-fry for 18 minutes, flipping halfway through. You’re aiming for crispy, golden perfection with an internal temp of 74°C (165°F).

  5. Make the Garlic Butter Drizzle:

    • As the wings cook, melt the butter over low heat in a small pan.
    • Stir in garlic paste, Parmesan, and lemon juice. Let it simmer gently for 1-2 minutes until it smells like heaven.

  6. Serve & Garnish:

    • Drizzle the warm garlic butter all over the crispy wings.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley, lemon zest, and extra Parmesan shavings.

Note

Pro Tip: Pair these wings with a side of ranch or blue cheese dip and some charred lemon wedges to squeeze over the top.

Leftovers: If by some miracle you have any left, reheat them in the Ninja Woodfire for 5-7 minutes to revive that crispy coating.

Not just cooked . . . this tomahawk was forged in fire.

Reverse-cooked low ‘n slow, then straight-up dirty seared right on the coals for that primal crust. Finished with a fat slice of cowboy butter — melted over the top with a chunk of red-hot charcoal.

Flavour? Savage.
Style? Full caveman.
Crust? Absolute filth.

👉 Full step-by-step recipe now live over on the site if you’re keen to give it a go.

Right then — first brew DONE, and what better way to mark it than cooking up something to go with it 🍗🍺

If you saw my reel 20 days ago, @igulubeer had sent me their S1 Smart Home Brewing System (gifted) — and this was the moment of truth. First pour, first taste, and my first ever beer used in a BBQ recipe.

I grilled up some beer-brined, honey beer glazed chicken thighs on the @ninjakitchenuk Woodfire, dropped ’em into warm naan pockets with salad, poured over some of that leftover glaze, and got stuck in 🔥

⸻

🧂 Beer Brine:

• 250ml cold water
• 250ml of my freshly brewed German Helles
• 50g salt
• 25g sugar
• 1 garlic clove (smashed)
• 1 bay leaf
• 5–6 peppercorns

Brined boneless, skinless chicken thighs for 6 hours, patted them dry, and cracked on.

⸻

🍯 Honey Beer Glaze:

• 150ml beer
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1.5 tbsp French’s yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt & pepper
• Knob of butter

Simmered until it thickened up and got sticky, then basted the chicken in the last few mins.

⸻

🔥 Cooked in the Ninja Woodfire:

• Grill Mode: HIGH
• Around 10–12 mins, flipping halfway
• Glazed the last 3–4 mins ’til it was glossy and banging

⸻

Served it all in naan pockets with fresh salad, poured over some of that leftover glaze, and washed it down with a cold pint of the beer I brewed myself. Not gonna lie — for a first try, I’m proper impressed 👌

The only problem? I’ve no CO2 setup yet, so the keg needs finishing sharpish . . . looks like it’s gonna be a very decent night 😂

👉 What should I brew next?

1 year to the day . . . and I still can’t believe little old me was flown to Nashville by @ninjakitchenuk . First time in America, first time doing anything like that — honestly one of the biggest moments of my BBQ life. And yep, the FlexFlame review I wrote back then is still getting loads of daily traffic too. Madness.

Simple Beef Stew & Fire-Roasted Mash in the Kamado Joe

No thrills. No fancy edits. Just a proper wholesome family dinner cooked low and slow outdoors. Diced beef braising steak, smoked and stewed in the Smoke Pot, with jacket spuds roasted next to it and turned into mash — easy as you like.

Kept the reel as simple as the cook — no crazy angles, just real food, cooked for me and the kids. And sometimes, it’s the simple things that just hit the spot.

Not that you’ll need it, but the full recipe’s up on the website as usual 😉

Right then . . . @igulubeer got in touch and asked if I fancied giving their S1 Smart Home Brewing System a go 🍺

We had a few honest chats – I’ve never brewed beer before, but I do love trying out new gear, especially when there’s tech involved. They sent over the S1 – their latest smart brewing machine – along with a German Helles brew kit, and this reel shows the unboxing and kicking off that first ever brew.

Apparently, it takes 20 days until it’s ready to drink – so this is just the start. There’ll be more coming soon as I pair a few brews with proper cooks off the BBQ 🔥#

Now, quick heads up – the S1 is currently out of stock in the UK. But if you like the look of it, stay tuned – once it’s back on sale, I should be able to sort you out with a cheeky discount 👀

Could this be the new bit of kit the BBQ shack was missing?

Let’s see how it turns out . . .

What should I brew next?
