Need Temp for Chicken Wings

Harris Buck · December 2008

I have 9 lbs of wings and they've been marinating for 24 hours. I'm ready to go. What is the best temp for indirect cooking?

Thanks for any help!

I like mine at 350-400

Thanks so much. I'm thinking roughly 20-25 minutes then turn for another 20 or so? What do you think?

I like to do mine at 350f dome temp for an hour.

I only rub them at first. During the last 10-15 minutes of the cook, I toss them in whatever wing sauce I'm using and put them back on.

Don't normally have to flip when indirect unless your saucing but I do rotate the grate half way thru. With that many you will have some on the outsides that might need flipping or rearranging.

Man, chicken wings are one of those cooks where you'll get answers all over the place. I've seen recipes that call for 400* direct for 5 minutes a side, and ones that say you should cook the things for 250* for 2-3 hours.

I'm cooking wings later this week, too, so I'm looking over the recipes and wondering which way to jump like you are.

For an indirect cook, I'll tend to go hotter say 375 or so, as I don't have to worry about burning them up. If I go direct, I stay under 300 and turn regularly.

Here are the wings from last night, 300 direct for 40 minutes:

As has been said, you will get lots of different answers on this one..priamrily because there are lots of great ways to get killer wings. My personal favorite method is described herein:
