edited April 2014 in EggHead Forum
I have tried several methods on the Egg for chicken wings and after reading an article on here recently I decided to try it out some new advice.  The Wings turned out great and were a huge hit with the crowd.    I mixed Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom & Weber Kickin Chicken together with baking powder, 2 to 1 ratio to give the skin some crunch.  Had the Egg preheated to 350*, indirect with a raised grill.  Turned the wings 1/2 way through the cook and removed from the grill at 185*.  I placed the wings in a large zip lock bag and mixed with buffalo wing sauce.  I added the wings back to the grill for a few minutes to firm up the sauce.  The result was a very spicy, juicy and tender wing, glad I made lots cause they were popular!  


Special thanks to Mattman3969 for his advice

    Wings look great!!! I can't take credit for the baking powder idea. I was just paying forward what I learned here.

    The wings look great but I think you may have opened Pandora's box with Guy Fieri sauce!  The last time I saw his name mentioned on this forum he got ripped to shreds.  Not sure why? Can I have their share of the wings?

    I heard his restaurant in Time Square is garbage but I love Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

    Wings look great!  I like the method you used.  

    I have tried GF BBQ sauce and it was actually really good.  It was the only sauce I could find at Wally World that didn't have HFCS. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I ate at his "Johnny Garlics" concept outside of Sacramento. It was "meh". Over the top recipes and rather pricey. It wasn't bad, just not great.

    Sauce was decent, I normally make my own Buffalo, but on this occasion I was a trying to use up a bottle I had in the fridge and this worked out beautifully.  I don't mind his sauces, had really good results with his bourbon brown sugar on ribs, and the Kansas City has been a favourite around here too.  I normally try many different brands and flavours, don't like to stick to just one, but I always keep a bottle of Fat Matt's Rib Shack BBQ sauce on hand, a must stop for me whenever we go to Atlanta!

    about 40-45 minutes, Dr BBQ once told me to listen for the dripping to stop sizzling on the foil that covers the plate setter or drip pan, and then let them go another 5-10 minutes and they should be perfect!

    IMHO wings are one of the things poultry wise that benefit by marinating, slow cooking, glazing etc etc and you'll likely go over the typical temp mark for dark meat but, still end up with kick a$$ wings.

    Sauce was ok, I like a few of his other ones much better, Bourbon Brown Sugar and Kansas City.  I don't mind this one though, tasted really good, but I would like a bit more heat with my wings!

    I need to try the dry rub, then sauce method.  Results look good. 

    I'd enjoyed the simple wings + Frank's marinated overnight, direct at 250 -- makes a very clean eating wing with a crisp skin, but this looks like a great approach for a more traditionally glazed wing.  I like it.

    Thanks for sharing.
    I will never cook inside again.

    Great looking wings, like the Moosehead as well. Why the zip lock to drench with the hot sauce? I've always just thrown them in a large SS mixing bowl, dumped the sauce over them and tossed before going back on the grid.

    Couldn't agree more. I never check temp on wings, just know when they're done. I imagine they're usually 190+, but always turn out fantastic. i usually go 275'ish or so for a couple hrs. Wings are my favorite thing to do on the egg.

    Is 2:1 rub:baking powder the best ratio for wings or other skinned bird parts?  I've been using 3:1 and getting great crunch but thinking about upping the rub for more flavor.  Also, despite what I've thought was sufficient mixing, I've gotten some white-ish residue on the wings that I attributed to too much bp.  Thoughts on ratio and experience would be much appreciated.
    It's a 302 thing . . .

    Too lazy to mess up another bowl since I already had a counter covered in dishes from my prep on a prime rib and steaks, this was just the easiest way to apply at the time.

    I am afraid not, whenever we come down for Eggfest at the speedway or now Stone Mountain, I am sure to stop in to my fav rib shack, but I am always up for more great food, whats the location and similar foods to Fat Matts?

    I had some white spots as well due to heavy spots of bp, that is why I like the sauce afterwards to cover that up and coat the wings!  I have never tried the 3:1, but this method was bang on for my taste buds!

    @SmokeyPitt - shame on you [-X   Fat Matt's has the best rib sandwich around.  Wings and jalapeno cornbread from Fox Bros is slammin!!

    @Monty77 - might also want to try Heirloom Market BBQ.  I haven't been there yet but all my buddies RAVE about it (especially the Korean style sauce).    http://www.heirloommarketbbq.com/
