    ncegger,[p]Well, my dad's been cooking these wings for as long as I can remember, back when all we had was an old rusty gas grill. Adapting his old methods to the Egg and enhancing with some Dizzy Pig has only made them better.[p]Here's how he does them nowadays:[p]First, he parboils the wings in apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Now some BBQ traditionalists will scoff at this step, but what makes my dad's wings so good is the kick of the vinegar flavor that the parboiling allows to be carried all the way through the meat. I'm not sure how long he boils them - maybe 10 minutes or so, not too long.[p]After taking the wings out he sprinkles heavily with lemon pepper (or, more recently, Dizzy Pig's Shakin' the Tree). Then just simply cook indirect at about 250-275 dome until they get crispy (3-4 hours or so, depending, but you'll know when they're ready). Sometimes he kicks the temp up a bit at the end to crisp them up sooner if he wants to shorten the cook (the meat will actually probably already be "done" after an hour or so).[p]Also, he sprays them with apple cider vinegar every half hour or so.[p]This last batch we did he tried out this new homemade mopping sauce, which was very good on them except that the high sugar content caused a little too much blackening during the crisping phase. In the future we decided to just serve the mopping sauce on the side for dipping or toss the finished wings in the sauce at the end.[p]The key to these wings (besides the parboiling in vinegar) is to go low and slow and indirect until you get the crispiness you desire - it'll happen, I promise, it just takes patience. The meat won't dry out either, thanks to the magic of the Egg.[p]Good luck and cheers![p]TRex
