Wings!

WooDoggies

<p />ChefRD's Hot Wings. [p]Cooked at 275 for about an hour and half. Substituted all of the spices in the recipe for about 3 tablespoons of Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom. The last 20 minutes of the cook, brushed with a mixture of Crystal's hot sauce, butter and Scott's Barbecue Sauce and cranked the heat to 300 or so.
Spicy hot and crispy tempered with a couple PBRs.[p]Sho am some good eatin......... wings is good![p]WD

WooDoggies,[p]Those look AWESOME! Why did you cook them at a low temp? To get a more smoke flavor?
Freeze some and send some to me![p]ST[/b]

Chef Wil

WooDoggies,
hats off to ya big guy, those wings are awesome, can you
e-mail me a bucket of 'em ???

WooDoggies

Hey Todd,[p]Nice thing about wings, even though they're white meat, they're wrapped in a nice fatty skin that keeps the meat moist throughout the cook.
The skin slowly renders to crisp up the flour/cornmeal coating that gives you a fried-like package full of nature's goodness..... aint no reason to rush it.[p]Just so happens I used a small chunk of the cherry wood you gave me in Waldorf........ so if you want the last few you'll have to make the 2 hour trek South....... they just don't freeze very well.[p]Heeeeeeee![p]John

Hey, Nature Boy, evidently Woodoggies is adept at using tongs. :-)[p]Those look great, John![p]Lee[p]

WooDoggies

Thanks Lee!
No tongs this time on the wings. Instead I used the Nature Boy "finger flip" technique. You gotta be quick, tho, 'cause those babies are hot![p]John[p]

WooDoggies,
Looks like you've just about mastered this cook. I think you've earned your "wings".[p]Mike

Nature Boy

Hey Lee!
I think John definitely has me beat in the coordination department! I still blame the humidity for those wings in Philly losing a coupe chunks of the coating!
hee!
Chris[p]BTW, nice job there WD. I'd say you have it down now!

WooDoggies,[p]That's beautiful, man![p]I did some wings yesterday, too. Not nearly as purty, and likely not nearly as good. I used Emeril's Southwestern Essence and grilled direct. Topped these off with some Frank's Red Hot Buffalo wing sauce.[p]This has been my standard lazy man wing technique as of late. I'm going to try the lower and slower indirect followed by the hotter and faster direct finish next time I do wings, which will likely be this Friday. Also, I really need to replenish my Swamp Venom supply. I've become addicted over the past two months, and now I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms!!![p]Later,

WooDoggies,
Looks great, did you cook them direct?????[p]Thanks,

<p />WooDoggies,[p]Damn, and I thought my ChefRD's looked good.[p]Are those some good flappers or what?[p]Nice pic John![p]Mick

WooDoggies

Hey Bob![p]Yeah, they were cooked direct on the main grid raised about 4" off the fire ring.[p]I lit just enough lump to cover the holes in the firebox..... so the wings were a fairly good distance from the heat..... I'm lazy and can't remember to check every 10-15 minutes like ChefRD suggests and it helps to keep them from browning too quickly.[p]Give them a try..... they really are good!

WooDoggies

Chef Wil,[p]Thanks, but that's a negatory on the delivery..... will the recipe do? :~)[p]Give em a try..... maybe you can pack them in like your ribs![p]John[p]

WooDoggies

Cornfed,[p]Dave, everyone knows you are the chicken wing kid, so I appreciate it! :~) [p]I'm lazy too and these are really easy....... letting them set up in the fridge for a 1/2 hour before putting them in the preheated egg makes all the difference.
Oh yeah, those cooked direct.[p]I used the last of my Swamp Venom on those wings so I'm jonseing too.[p]Labatt's Blue!
