hot wing help

wes

Trying hot wings on the grill tonight. I have seen two ways to cook: 1 at 250 for about 45minutes and 1 at 350-400 for 5 minutes per side. Any suggestions?

First of all, welcome aboard! There are a lot of ways to do wings out there. To your question, I have done them the faster, higher temp route and they turn out fine. Personally, my favorite is the DP way:

Good luck!

Thanks for the tip. I am smoking some tuna right now and depending on when it is done I might give the breaded way a try. Thanks again.

I agree with Austin Smoker. You can add extra heat by adding cayenne pepper to the mixture. Or dip in a Hot Sauce before serving.

Personally I prefer indirect at 400 for 40 to 45 minutes.

Yes, I do my wings this way as well. The platsetter (indirect) keeps the wings from getting too charred up.

I did these at 325f direct but on a raised grid. Seems like it took about 40 minutes or so. I usually cook them till the sauce chars a bit.







Just one of my favorite ways of doing wings here. Good eggn to ya. John

how are you guys raising the grid?

JPF

I built this a few years back out of stainless steel for my large and one for my medium. It raises the grid up to felt line. I use it for most of my direct cooks.





there is a commercial version for sale if you google woo2 you should get a hit for the site.

I do a lot of wings, and in my opinion neither of your methods will give you wings that are either done or crispy.

I do mine at 400* indirect for at least 45 minutes, flipping once about halfway through. Then I toss in sauce and put back on the grid for a few minutes to set the sauce a little.

I also like to use a little melted butter and lemon pepper....teriyaki.....garlic pepper sauce......a lot of imagination can go into wings and a lot of flavors work besides traditional hot sauce.

Great looking wings, Rod.

I like mine at 400 indirect, too.

How do you prep yours?

I disjoint mine before cooking, lay them on a cooling rack, spray with evoo and dust with the rub of choice.

That's it.....raised indirect and hot.

When I use Dizzy Pig, they seem to get charred up.

I used LottaBull recently and did not get any char.

I do not know this test for certain, because other factors could have been involved. However, I have never cooked wings with DP without char.

Don't get me wrong I use DP on almost everything.

I like jamaican firewalk on wings.

I like the DP method too..I also finish with a spicy or hot mop the last 5-10 mins...good stuff!

I liked the Suck Creek Wings recipe, too...you flash-fry them just before saucing:

Yum.

Flask fry on the EGG?

I did the DP wings back in February for the Superbowl, and my youngest boy keeps asking me to do them again. I liked the flavor of the wings, but I'd use corn flour instead of corn meal...I wasn't crazy about the texture the meal gave.

Jeffersonian

No, I just used a frying pan, but I think the right way is to use a deep fryer.
