Mess of Chicken
Sitting around watching tv yesterday (instead of cleaning house before Mrs. G got home like I should have) and I got a hankering for some wings. So I ran up to the store and while getting the wings I spotted a large package of legs. I figured since I was firing up the Egg, why not fill it all the way up and get some protein for lunches later this week? Wings got dusted with Dizzy Pig Firewalk and the legs got a mix of Stubb's and Dizzy Dust. Got the Egg fired up to 400F with some mesquite for smoke and a raised direct cook with my Adjustabe Rig.
Lunch is served, the sauce was just the standard 1/2 cup Frank's, cut the butter from 1/3 to 1/2 stick, juice of half a lemon, some garlic powder, onion powder and a coupla squirts of sriracha. Tasted it and it wasn't hot enough, so some red pepper flakes, cayenne and more sriracha.
Talk about lip burning!! Good stuff. Legs took a bit longer, but now I have some lunches for later in the week.
Gotta say it was a pretty fine day. Egg was chugging along doing its own thing, the rain was coming down all day not affecting the temps of the Egg, but the weather...so nice. Can't believe that it's July in Dallas and temps were probably in the 80's! They're saying we're not even going to make it to the 80's today. The only problem I had with this cook was my thermapen...I couldn't find it. Tore the house apart looking for it before I remembered I left it at a buddy's house the weekend after 4th of July. Had to use a slow ass probe that goes with my Tru-temp timer and boy is that thing slow. Oh well. Still a nice Sunday afternoon.

Nice cook Griffin. Is the DP firewalk hot? I am looking for a rub to put on wings with a real kick.

Looks great @Griffin.For future reference, going from 1/3 to 1/2 a stick of butter is actually an increase.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

@six_egg yeah, the firewalk has got some kick to it, mine's proabably not considered "fresh" anymore, because I always forget I have it, but it hasn't mellowed much from when I got it.
@TexanOfTheNorth - whoops. I meant I cut it back from a 1/3 of a cup of butter, to a half a stick (1/4 cup since a stick is 1/2 a cup). I've been thinking 1/3 of a cup always seemed like too much, sometimes the sauce wouldn't seem to mix properly, like the butter wouldn't get taken into solution all the way. Cutting it down seemed to work great. Might cut it down more next time.

Might try cutting the butter back a bit myself. Have you tried the Tabasco Buffalo wing sauce? It has a pretty good flavor.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

In the wing sauce I use less than 1/2 of the recommended butter and it comes out good, but I've never used the full amount so maybe its a case of I don't know what I'm missing.

@TexanOfTheNorth - no, I have not. Might be sacrilege, but I'm not a big Tabasco fan. From what I remember, I always thought it was too vinegary.
@Chubbs - ) Ok, guess I'll take that. Love me some tots.
@Mickey - when the wife is away for a week, somebody has to destroy...I mean clean up the evidence of what went on. Or in this case, what didin't go on, like cleaning up after myself.
@Austin_Egghead - love bacon wrapped tots. Haven't done them in years, though. I need to try prosciutto. Good idea.
