Weekend Wing Cook!

Figured I'd close the loop on this other thread and tell you how it went.

I smoked a couple pork shoulders the day before (I'll cover that in another thread) and on the day-of our party I wanted to smoke/cook some low maintenance wings.  I got a few tips but as some of the methods involved attention to detail, I knew it wasn't right for this cook.  I wanted to cook these while our party was in full swing, I'd be playing host, cornhole, bartender, etc.  Simple was in the bag.   Here's what I did...

I bought one of these BIG bags of frozen wings in Costco.  I forget how many pounds, but it filled up two racks in my LBGE.  (one layer of the AR and the round stainless rack that came with the egg).  Perfect amount of wings.



The day before I opened up my frozen bag of wings and dumped in a mixture of; one crushed garlic bulb, 2 cans of 7up, some soy sauce and a mess of Habanero Lime seasoning.  I also mixed in some corn starch with the marinade.   I let the bag of wings sit out for the day while they thawed and then threw it in the fridge.

I went with 250 degrees (ish), indirect.  Threw them on the grill and gave them a healthy shake of Dizzy Dust and some more of the Habanero Lime.  After an hour I flipped the wings and rotated them top rack to bottom rack.  More seasoning was added.  I probably pulled them about another hour later.  So, approximately 2 hours overall and they were PERFECT!

Well cooked, brown, smoky taste (I threw in some big Cherry chunks with my RO).

I served half of them "dry" and have of them with a very spicy buffalo sauce that I made.  There were OFF THE HOOK!

Seriously good.  The dry ones were a bit spicy, but edible to everyone.   The wet ones had some kick but were still edible.

I had no flareups during the cook, but man my stone was covered in fat at the end of the cook.

I did not take any pictures during the cook or even of the bowls of wings ready to serve.  Caught in busy party mode.   Just as the wings were getting finished I remembered my lack of pics and took a shot of the last dry wing and the last few sauced wings.  So these don't really do it justice, but at least you know they were all spoken for!

I'll definitely make them this way again.  
Great results!  Not a bad wing in the bunch.
