Wings

MangoMadness · December 2015

I've got 6 pounds of wings that I just coated with a dry rub and olive oil. How long should I cook them and at what temperature? Do I need to turn them at any point? This is the first time I've tried to cook wings on the Egg. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

400 raised direct (around 45 minutes), rotate and turn once or 400 indirect, no turn and a longer cook time. Both work great.

Great! Thanks! Rotate after the 45 mins or during? @bgebrent

During. By rotate I mean either rotate your grid 180 degrees (because the back of the egg is hotter) or manually rotate the rear wings to the front AND turn them. Do this quickly as your fire will really pick up with the dome open. They'll be done around the 45 minute mark. Good luck and post your cook.

I go 350-400 raised-indirect for about 30-40 mins depending on the size of the wings..flip the wings once about halfway through.

400f-425f raised indirect.

I usually cook them at 350 for 45 minutes. The rubs I use have some sugar and if I cook them higher than that it tends to burn.

I/we make wings very very regularly, and after this past Summer's local Egg Fest, I will not do them any other way than 375-400 indirect until the rub of choice is nice and crispy (45-60 minutes I'd say).

Do you flip them at any point? @SteelCitySmoke814

I am with @steelcitysmoke814 and @tinyfish. I always go raised indirect at around 400 until they're done...about an hour. I move them around a few times moving the more done ones to where the less done ones are and vice versa, flipping a couple of times. Easiest and tastiest cook I do.

How did they come out? Where are the pics?

GATABITES · December 2015

I have to try the I 400 raised indirect. I usually go 400 raised direct. I'll just have to wrap the PS first..

Mmmm, wings. I go direct at about 325. Flipping and repositioning every 5 minutes when the triple timer reminds me.

MangoMadness · December 2015

I went 400 degrees direct heat and decided to flip them after 20 mins. They were charred.

Nature Boy · December 2015

As @blasting above mentioned, for direct cooking closer to 300 is my go to temp. 45-60 minutes. They brown nice and easy that way. Cheers!

I have found wings are very difficult to screw up! It's a small fatty morsel, so doesn't take long no matter how you do it.

I've smoked them (put them on low and slow after I took some ribs off) and they were great. I've cooked them at 400 and I've cooked them at 300 indirect.

If you take a wing off to sample and it's fully cooked but the skin is rubbery, remove the plate setter and give them a quick char.

I usually dry my wings, toss them in corn starch and then rub a few hours before the cook. I'll put them in the fridge to continue drying.

As far as the cook, I do ~325-350F for 50min-1hour, indirect with 1 flip in the middle. I sauce with 5-10 minutes left. Never had burnt wings and they're pretty crispy for not frying.

Very sorry for the late reply; it's been a hectic stretch of days. That said, I usually don't flip them, but only out of some level of laziness. I/we are usually totally OK with them, but the "down side" usually doesn't achieve the same level of awesomely crisped up rub like the top side does.
