I've had a couple packs of whole chicken wings in my freezer for at least a year.  I think I'm finally going to cook them for the Titans game Saturday.  I've never done the smoke/fry thing.  How what IT should I smoke them to, and how long should they fry?  I was going to do indirect 325/350 on the egg.

    If you're going to fry them after, I wouldn't worry about internal temperature.  You just want to get the smoke on them and cook them as little as possible.  So I would go with a slightly lower temp, and smoke them for about 20-30 minutes and then fry them up.

    We used to smoke them to completion. Eat them. Then fry the left overs the next day. That way when we fried them we didn't have to care at all about the finish temps. Just color.

    I used to do it that way until I got a joetisserie. Now I get crispy smoky wings with very little effort.

    You’ll want way more than 20-30 min. 

    I smoke them till done, you actually want to benefit from the breakdown of the fat as well. 


    The fry is just to get the skin absolutely crispy.

    cook then til done 170/175 internal, indirect, low and slow, pay no attention to the skin in the egg. use extra smoking wood as it loses flavor in the fryer. if your going to sauce with a buffalo style sauce or bbq style you can smoke that too, stirring the sauce often helps incorporate smoke into the sauce. the frying is mostly for the skin so quick and hot

    looked at some notes. baste them with watered down mustard, then the rub. put them on the grill still wet as it will pick up more smoke before the fry. last time i did these i made a sauce of mayo yogurt and cajun rub and mojo sauce, added more squeezed lime

    Another bidet fire?  That’s a shame.
