Here's my post from earlier today:

Kristi (Necessary Indulgences) shared her version of these wings from a restaurant in Seattle (I think) called Pik Pok. They are KILLER.
Word of warning, it involves cilantro and fish sauce. Preparation is a little stinky, but these things are crazy good.

Probably, you just want wings/chicken parts that have some meat on them, I tend to use drummies most of the time, they have more to them than a normal "wing". As said earlier, there are near infinite opinions and recipes about what is the best approach. Hope that helps.Cheers,Chris

When I cooked whole chicken I just tossed the wings, I never saw a point to them. But maybe I am missing out.
Count me as a newbie who knows very little about wings.
I know there are endless opinions and recipes. But when one doesn't know where or what to even purchase, i start asking.Elkhorn, NE

You’ve been throwing away what you need to purchase.

I purchase mine fresh from Earthfare. No antibiotics, never frozen, blah blah blah. Bottom line, buying fresh from a good source is what I look for.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

for your first time, go indirect at 375. raise them up, close to the dome. this helps get them crisp.

As mentioned there are a bunch of ways to do wings. I think of them as having 2 basic methods. One is to marinate them and cook them in while they are soaked in the marinade. The other (my preference) is to dry rub them and then when they are cooked you can either eat them as is - or sauce them. I learned on here to use a bowl with the sauce - like they do at wing restaurants. I prefer the latter because the wings are crisper.
Many people mix some corn starch in with their rub and let the wings sit uncovered in the refrigerator overnight because that also gets the skin to be more crisp.
While it probably seems like the goal is to get perfect wings the first time, it's unlikely to happen. But by the 10th time you've done wings they'll likely be excellent.
Good luck.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Find a source for FRESH JUMBO WINGS. Then, you can eggsperiment with rubs, sauces, etc. Cook at 350-375 raised direct. 15-18 minutes a side to 180 degrees.New Albany, Ohio

Just spend a couple bucks and try them the next couple times you are eating out. Even our local grocery store makes pretty good wings.
Much harder trying cook something going in blind on what you like.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas
