I need a good recipe for wings. I like spicy, and like my wings crispy so was thinking raised direct. Any suggestions? Also is there enough mass to measure the temp with Thermapen?

    I toss in canola oil to help get crisp amd help the dry rub stick. I rub and let sit for 5 to 10 min and then go raised direct at 400 to 450 and turn every 10 min or so until they are cooked through. I'll probably get flamed for this, but I don't check temp on them, I go by feel. If they are firm and crisp they are done. I then take them and toss them in Frank's red hot wing sauce, then put them back on for 5 min, flip and cook another 5 min. Depending on how I'm feeling, I may give them another quick toss in sauce, but not always. I've always had great results with this method. But there are many different opinions on wings.

    I do a light paprika coating, then a light coat of corn starch and air dry in the fridge for an hour. Then 400* indirect for 30 min, flip and another 20 min, then coat with sauce for another 10 (30/20/10 method). I've been experimenting with time and temp to get the wings cooked just right - it really depends on the size of the wing and consistency of temp to get them cooked the way I like (slightly crispy). This has worked the best for a crispy wing for me without drying them out. I've tried direct heat and the inconsistent temp and potential for burning some wings requires the platesetter IMO. I did these wings on New Years in the snow with three sauces and they turned out great.

    Many roads lead to great wings and there is a ton of great advice on here.

    I like my wings crispy, too. I coat them with a few seasonings, then corn starch, and then air dry in the refrigerator like @trip150.

    Cook raised direct for about an hour at ~300, cooking the majority of the time skin up.

    Kristi I never thought of doing the corn starch that way. I did it once and found it lumpy and never tried the corn starch again. Very cool of you.....
