Best wings I've ever made
DMW
Posts: 13,833
I know there are some wing wizards out there, but thought I'd share tonight's results.
Made a rub with salt/pepper/paprika/garlic powder. Didn't measure anything. Wings were in the fridge since yesterday to dry. Tossed them in a gallon zip lock with rub and gave it a few good shakes. On the small indirect around 250* with pecan chips for smoke.
Made a sauce mostly from a recipe @lousubcap posted on one of my threads. The only addition was I found a bottle of rice vinegar in the back of the fridge with just a bit left I added in. Here's the recipe he posted, I only added probably about 2 or 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar.
Melted the butter, added the rest, and warmed it up. When the wings were almost done, dunked them in the sauce and back on indirect.
Let the sauce set for 10-15 minutes and let the temp climb up to 325*. Then I pulled the drip pan and stone and switched to raised direct to get some char on the wings. No pictures of that, but not hard to imagine what it looks like.
Final results.
Not sure what it was about these wings, but the combo of pecan smoke, rub, sauce, and char was spot on. Wish I had measured rub ingredients...

Hope you can dial in the ingredients again for another cook. Those wings are absolutely killer. Nice work.

Man those look fantastic!

I'm beyond jealous. I have nailed so many cooks on my egg, but the one thing I am always disappointed in is my wing cooks. I've tried every which way possible and never even come close to what you did here today!

PERFECT. You can't get better than that.

Ummmm, I could have done the same thing in my oven and that is way too much salt for my low sodium diet. Also, the rub just sounds extra clumpy. No clumpy wings for this guy!Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Looks awesome. Nice work!=======================================
