Quick wing cook before Monday Night Football

cazzy · December 2012

Made some wings tonight and they turned out very well! :)

I was watching a cooking show and the lady hosting it said that adding corn starch to your seasoning helps crisp up the wings. With that, I gave it a try and was very pleased with the results...very crispy! nom nom :D

1/2 DP Jamaican Firewalk & 1/2 Swamp Venom (plus corn starch)

Nice Cazzy, I learned on another post this past week that baking powder does the same thing if you get caught short with corn starch.

On Spatched Chicken, I use 2 parts rub to 1 part corn starch, mist it with oil and it always crisps.

At the half and Big Blue is up by 3, life is tough when you are a Giants fan.....

Hail to the Redskins! Nice tip on the wings too.

Great looking wings, @cazzy

Not a skins fan, but a huge RG3 fan so I enjoyed the parts of the game I got to watch.

I add corn starch to mine now per the advice of a forum member. Makes all the difference. Yours look awesome. Cant go wrong with the DP either.

Hey those look great even at 9:30 AM! Having never done wings before 3 questions please; 1) how much corn startch are you using (would it be true for BP as well OR more or less needed?) 2) how can I tell when they are done? 3) I have a Maverick but are wings thick enough to work with a probe?

Thanks!

Cazzy - that looks damn good. (curse you I'm hungry now!)

Looks great I'll have to try cornstarch. I used these two rubs on wings when I made yours for the first time a week ago. Everyone preferred yours but there wasn't any dizzy pig ones left either, good stuff!

I lightly coat them with a flower sifter then season, I cook them at 400 for about an hour, they are plenty done. Shouldnt need a probe.

@MJQ8 - use your Maverick pit probe for the grid temp, but the wings need something like a Thermapen if you want to check their temp. Any digital will work, just take one off and test it, anything over 170 is OK to me, but it is hard to overcook wings and I prefer flappers to be about 170, drummers to be 180, unless you use Mickey's recipe - which is go for a nap..... and turn them into charcoal.

@MJQ8

I honestly wasn't scientific about the amount I put. I'd probably guess it was 1.5 tablespoons for about 25 wings and a lil over 1/2 tablespoon for 10 wings. Again though, I just winged it :P

The rest of the guys gave you great info. Wings are hard to mess up and you actually want to overcook them a tad as they have alot of intramuscular fat you need to break down.

Good stuff, thanks everyone!

Is it as easy as just adding the rub and corn starch? You didn't marinate them or anything, like you do in your other wing recipe?

Yep, just that easy. No marinading.

Add your rub to a plastic bag and then add corn starch mix it up. I think a 3:1 ratio will be a safe starting point.

Great, thanks. Going to give these a shot tonight!
