Take a look at five of our favorite appetizer recipes. Most of these recipes are also low-carb or keto recipes!
Best Pellet Grilled Chicken Wings
Smoked Chicken Wings with Crispy Skin are one of the best BBQ appetizers! This cooking technique uses the parboiled method. Pellet grilling at a higher heat gives that crispy skin without a ton of time on the pellet grill. We think these don’t even need any sauce, but you be the judge of that!

You can make tons of flavor modifications to this recipe by using different spices or mix-ins, but we love these meatballs just as they are.
