Wings & ABTs...

Dillonjm

Never done chicken wings on the grill so I thought today would be a good day to try. I then thought it would be cool to try some ABTs that everyone keeps talking about. Overall, we thought everything came out pretty damn good.

Wings: 1 dozen or so
Temp: 370-400
Indirect cook/ 30-20-10 method

Decided to use try several different flavors for the wings.
 4 - Raging River Rub / Sweet Baby Ray's Hot Buffalo Sauce
4 - Raging River Rub / Sweet Baby Ray's Kick'n Bourbon Sauce
4 - Pineapple Head Rub / Pineapple Chile Lime Sauce
2 - Swamp Venom

ABTs:
Cut Jalapenos in half, removed seeds. Stuffed some cream cheese, cheddar cheese and some maple sausage and put them back together. Wrapped in bacon and put them on the grill with the wings.

Looks like a winner to me. Excellent cook. Which rub did you like the best when all was said and done?

SGH

I could make a fool out of myself eating that! Literally my friend.

Nice, I 'm going to try that ABT method, they look killa...

Dillonjm

Thanks SGH!

They were all really good. If I had to choose one, I'd say the Raging River / Kickn Bourbon was my favorite. The Swamp Venom was pretty good too but I didnt combine any sauce with that one, just the rub. My girlfriend said she cant decide. She loved them all. We will be keeping this on the menu

looks great. Nice job.

Dillonjm

Thanks Phatchris!

The ABTs were incredible. I just wish they were a bit hotter. I guess I got some more mild ones but they were still killer

Dillonjm

Thanks pigoutsc!

Looks fantastic! I'm bookmarking this so I can make it myself when I get my egg next month! Mmmmm!!

Dillonjm

Thanks @Monaarts

You can sprinkle just a shot of cayenne on the abt's to warm them a little. That's what I do my friend.

I am doing the exact same thing tomorrow for lunch. Great inspiration. Did you marinate or brine the wings? 

Dillonjm

I did not. Just let them dry out in the fridge overnight, seasoned them, maybe 30 minutes, before putting them on the grill. They were nice and crisp on the outside and juicy inside.  I forgot to mention earlier but I also had some soaked mesquite chips in the pit for a smokier flavor.

Dillonjm

@SGH

I will definitely try that next time.

what exactly is the 30-20-10 method when it comes to wings?

Dillonjm

30 minutes on one side, flip the wings and then 20 minutes on the other side and then mop/glaze with sauce and 10 more minutes.

Nice...

@dillonjm Ours came out a little overdone and way hotter than we like. I can handle hot wings but dang the ABT's were on fire.

Home-run right there.  Most eggcellent.  ABT's-one of the best things I learned about once I joined the cult.  

Dillonjm

Thanks everyone..

Dillonjm

@TN2TX

I guess you had a hotter batch of jalapenos than me. Mine were definitely mild. What temp did you keep your BGE at for the cook?

TN2TX

400, I think next time I will go 350. What about you? 

Dillonjm

Yeah, I kept mine between 370-400. I could have pulled them a few minutes earlier but I like a nice crunch on the outside. They were still very juicy inside.

Did you put them in the fridge to dry out the night before? Maybe that was the difference.

Looks great all around!! I LOVE ABTs!

Dillonjm

@Thatgrimguy Thanks!

@dillonjm - did you use any smoke wood on this cook. I am about to make abt's for the first time. 

Dillonjm

@GATABITES Yes, I did. I used about a two handfuls of mesquite wood chips.

GATABITES

Thanks. Mine came out great.

Dillonjm

Glad to hear!
