    400 Direct cooked at the gasket level.  I like them crispy to extra crispy.

    I recently switched to indirect. 425ish indirect, high in the dome. They get crispy and I don't have to worry about chicken fat smoke that can sometimes be an issue with direct. One of my favorite cooks

    Either way will get you there.  I have evolved to raised direct around 350-375*F or so high (around 4" above the gasket line) in the dome.
    Couple of keys to crispy results- let 'em air dry overnight (if possible) in the fridge and/or dust with a light coating of corn starch before tossing on the BGE. 
    Probably more wing recipes here than anything else-give the forum search function go and have at the results.  Great groceries await.

    I really like to do them raised direct on the CGS Adjustable rig, around 400 for about 45 minutes.  I air dry in the fridge when I have time, and dust with cornstarch and the rub of your choice (we like Honey Hog Hot).  

    Flip them about halfway through the cook, and when they're almost done, I pull, toss them in a bowl of sauce, throw them back on for a couple minutes, and toss in the remaining sauce to serve.

    We like Sweet Baby Ray's buffalo sauce.  Mild enough for a crowd, but a still has a little kick.

    Also, throw a chunk or two of fruit wood in the fire for good measure (apple, cherry, etc.)

     I am with @ColtsFan. I like to keep the wing fat out of the fire and I can crank the heat up to get them nice and crispy with out worrying about burning.
