Little help with chicken wing temps and time.

Mud Pig

Hey guys,
I am doing some wings this weekend. I've done them before and they came out great, but I can't for the life of me remember the cook time and temps. I did this cook with wings and chicken legs a while back. I believe the recipe I found had me do them direct at low temp, something around 250. Flipped the chicken every 20 minutes or so for 2 hours, saucing at the 2 hr mark for 10 more minutes of cooking.

I believe that is what I did, but can anyone confirm the recipe?

sounds about right. i do thighs at 275ish for about 2 hours, wings a little hotter, 300 for a little over an hour. both cooks direct on a raised grid

For me I like using my AR with the grid extender and grid. I go 400F direct. I watch them and turn as needed. I like the skin crispy so I let it cook a little long. I know I cook them past 170F. I don't remember the timing.

Here is a good one. I have done these this way but with out the breading.

Mud Pig, I just cooked 120 wings. Cut the tips off and seperated the drumette from the thingamajigger. I followed fishless' advice. Cooked them with very little lump at the grid level (would have used raised grid, but had a ton of wing pieces to fit on), direct at 300 - 400 for about 45 minutes. They were nice and crispy and moist.

Now I only have to cook 180 to 280 more wings for my niece. I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

Good grief Rebecca!! Another couple hundred or three? :laugh: Honestly though, do you have access to a Restaurant Depot? They sell the wings already separated drumette and flat (thingamagig...). Last time we got them they were $1.08/lb for a 40 pound box, and the butchering is already done. Just trying to help. :silly:

Well where were you when I needed you Michelle? :huh:

My sister insisted on organic chicken wings from our local grocery. However, I'm bailing on that plan. I'm going to hit the Restaurant Depot in Cincinnati this weekend. I don't think my sister will notice.
