How do you smoke wings?

samiller74 · December 2010

I have never had great results smoking wings on the Egg, so I know I am doing something wrong. I usually overdo them.

I had been doing 90 minutes at 250 indirect flipping once and then cranking up the heat to 400 for the last few minutes to finish.

So, my way ins't great - how do you do it? I've got some folks coming over this evening and I think I am going to try the direct heat at 300 for 30 minutes - any other suggestions?

Thanks!

I prefer indirect on a raised grid. I think the best I have done were done at 275 and I let em go for about 90 minutes. Normally I do 350- but I threw on some wangs while cooking some wibs.

I prefer to use fresh "real" wings. Frozen have turned out ok if I defrost them first. I haven't had great luck with "cooked from frozen" wangs.

samiller74,

I ususally do raised direct. I do a very light coating of cornstarch and spray any white parts with olive oil after about fifteen minutes.

400 high in the dome / direct.... no oil just rub and sauce the last 10 to 15 min's..
I like Butt Rub and Bone Sucking Sauce.
I do leave uncovered in the fridge overnight.

I do mine as high in the dome as I can get them, indirect @ 350

Here's a small batch w/ some ABT's

Putting them in the frig uncovered for a couple of hours helps to dry the skin for a more crispy finish, no need to crank up the temp.
Also, I don't open the dome and I don't flip.
Usually one hour or just a little more does it

Hope this helps.

These were with a drip pan - 400 dome with Hoochie Mama and sugar cane for smoke

Indirect 400 dome

Not smoked but for crispy wings I go 400° indirect and pull at 190-200 internal temp.

I'm with you Pat..I don't smoke wings, I grill em..but if you ever tried low and slow drumsticks...man they're good..

Wess I've done them both ways but the best part of legs and wings to me is the skin. Thighs are great slow also but I needs me crispy skin

Check out my "Unfried chicken" page on my website....the skin comes out crispy...I wouldn't like it otherwise..
