BBQ Wings (many pics)

EGGerAllanPoe · April 2014

Did some wings tonight on the Egg. Real simple. Brined the wings for 1 hour. Then onto the board.

Store bought sticky fingers BBQ sauce and DP Dizzy Dust.

Started the Egg up. 400 degrees raised direct.

Blue Moon beverage

And then the cook.

Delicious and simple.

Looks great. Curious... how long did you have them on for? I ask because I usually do mine raised indirect, but always wanted to try direct.

EGGerAllanPoe · April 2014

Not exactly positive how long they were on for. I kind of winged it. (No pun intended)

Raised direct at 400 degrees

Add chicken.

Flip every 5-7 minutes because I'm scared of burning them.

Bathe in BBQ sauce on each flip.

Maybe 20-30 minutes on the grill.

I don't time too much anymore. I grab the thermapen and cook to temp. 165 on wings for me.

NICE cook. Wings on the egg are amazing. Can you share the 1 hour brine you used?

Did you add and "heat" to the BBQ sauce? I love spicy bbq wings.

Thanks. Admittedly, I use my Thermapen on almost everything, but have yet to do so on wings. Will give it a shot next time!

I use a basic brine. Nothing special. I do it to all chicken I grill and it's really changed the flavor and juiciness.

1 gallon water
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar

Scale to fit your needs.

I'm no expert on brining but this works for me.

Here's a thread where I posted my brining questions and got some great responses. Check it out.

This is perfect. I always brine when cooking a full bird and always brine thick pork chops & pork tenderloins . . . but never tried on wings yet, thank you!

No heat. Just sweet! I'll try a little heat next time.

Thanks for posting, nicely documented!

I’ve cooked a variety of things in the Egg, and I gotta say Wings are near the top of the list. The moisture of the Wings on the BGE are unrivaled.
