crispy indirect smoked wings

deepsouth

i'm needing to make quite a few wings for memorial day weekend. i will have to prepare them a couple of days ahead of time.

i plan on cooking them on the three tier grate, indirect. i'll probably have to cook two rounds to have enough.

time isn't really my issue, rather technique. my wings are always very tasty, but i want these to be have crispy skin on the outside as well.

any recommendations on the prep side to make them crispy?

reheating recommendations would also be appreciated and welcomed!

thanks in advance.

You can dust them with flour or corn starch, I take them to 200 internal temp and they are crispy. Keeping the crisp skin for the reheat I would probably just quickly grill them direct over a hot fire. -RP

thanks!

If you are going to be holding them, I would suggest that you cook til done, let them cool to room temp, hold them in the fridge then to reheat, quick fry them. Smoked and fried are great and the skin will be crisp and the smokiness in the flavor will be sealed in. Then take them for a spin in some sauce.....man I am hungry now.....

You might want to try ChefRD's great recipe for your crispy wings.





This is two layers indirect on the cooker.











Most all the wings you see in the pictures are based off of ChefRD's recipe.

I have to agree with Squeeze. Smoke them indirect and quick fry them when you need to heat them up. I did this for the superbowl and they were by far the best wings I've done.

Sounds what I would like... Do you go straight from the fridge to the fryer (375-400)? Thank you!

this is how i cook them but for what your doing with a reheat use a fryer, smo fry wings are good and you can really hit them good with smoke as the frying will pull some smoke flavor out

Yes right out of the fridge. I did my at 375 for only about 90 seconds.

awesome peoples. many thanks. i'd have never thought to fry them. makes sense. only 90 seconds straight from the refrigerator makes it a slam dunk.

Like others have said. I really like the recipe on NBs site. I cook mine indirect, I think they suggest direct.

If you don't want to bread, use corn starch to get a crispier skin.
