    Do you want to sauce them or just cook them on the Egg and eat?

    In that case I usually just put my wings on the Egg naked, nothing at all seasoning wise, as I think it gets covered in the sauce. I like a very light dusting of cornstarch to crisp them up. I don't have to get the heat up so high that way and I can really use several levels to put wings on without fear of burning. If you do want them hotter, Dizzy Pig's Jamaican Firewalk is a good way to go.

    My favorite wing sauce is Franks. I get it at Sam's by the gallon. I follow their wing mixture using butter right on the container.

    I know that this is simple, but I've done this over and over and have had rave reviews every time. Maybe some day I'll do something different but for now I like 'em!!

    Oh, don't forget the blue cheese!!

    Gary,

    We like our wings unbreaded and crisp, so what I do is buy the whole wings, cut then into the two parts, discarding the wing tip. Season with S&P or DP Shaking the Tree.

    I cook then direct on a raised grid at about 400* dome temp. Can't do double decker that way, since that would have to be indirect, but can cook 24 wing pieces on the large grid. Cooked them, turning once until they were about 200* internal.
    Then I dipped them in Carnivore Robust sauce (or Frank's Hot Wing Sauce) and put them back on the grid for about 3-4 minutes to "fix" the sauce.

    The "Princess"(wife) says they are the best wings she has ever eaten and, hey, who else counts? :evil:

    The Georgia Red Wings are really good. They are not really hot but have a nice hint of heat. I have probably cooked these 20 times and each time they go fast. I like the fact that they are not dripping with sauce so you can eat 5 or so without creating a real mess. LOL

    Here is my favorite method. You can adjust the seasonings/sauce to you liking. I often do 2 batches, one for me and the wife with hot sauce and a batch for the kids with either lemon pepper or teriyaki.

    Gary,

    I've done Buffalo style wings a couple of different ways, and this is my favorite so far. I like them really hot, and came up with this method to approximate something we used to get from our college wing joint. These come out really good. You could tone down the peppers if you like them less spicy.

    Note that I do use a spice rub, unlike some of the other suggestions. I've tried both ways, and asked guests at parties to comment - the spice rub seems to add another level of complexity to the flavor of the finished wing. I cook indirect at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes, with smoke. This crisps the outsides pretty well, leaves them really juicy, and the smoke flavor combined with the wing sauce is something you just can't get in a restaurant.

    Did someone say "wings" ??? :woohoo:

    First, I should say that we like em "crisp". I don't use "whole" wings, just the "drumsticks" and the middle joint.

    On the egg, indirect heat (with drip pan) at about 400-425. I give em about 50 minutes.

    Here's two of my favourites recipes:

    Hot wings: :evil: :evil: :evil:
    Prior to cooking, sprinkle granulated garlic (not powder, and definitely NOT garlic salt), paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper over the wings (you can also just put the spices in a bag and toss em).
    Bake up up as above, then toss them in your favourite hot sauce. I use franks and a healthy dose of tabasco. Serve (of course) with blue cheese dip.

    "GAR-PAR" wings: (people just love these lil puppies!)
    Bake the wings as above - with NO seasoning. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero.
    Toss them with your favourite caesar salad dressing (we have "Renees Mighty Garlic), and a good sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. (For 20 wings, I find 1-2 tablespoons of dressing / cheese works well - but tinker to your taste.

    And now... back to our show! :laugh:

    Actually, we preferred the Carnivore Robust better than the Frank's. Just personal preference. The Carnivore seems to have more complexity of flavors, while the Frank's was just Hot - more like Tabasco is hot, but not flavorful.

    We were in Buffalo Wild Wings last week and I bought a bottle of their Mango-Habanero sauce and one of their Garlic-Parmesian sauce - our favorites of their sauces. Can't wait to try them on Egged wings. I tried unsuccessfully to find copies of these sauces on the Internet, but they keep tose recipes pretty tight! :angry:

    Yes, I like their garlic sauce. It has a nice kick to it. Funny how people's tastes are different. I think Frank's has a wealth of flavor, not just heat. After I put the butter in it I could eat it with a spoon!! Sigh....I'm hungry.

    Adding butter sounds like a nice addition!

    The thing about using the Carnivore Robust is after using Shaking the Tree on the wings, you get the lemony taste from that, the initial sweet taste from the Carnivore, then the heat!

    Someone here on the forum has a killer recipe for lemon-pepper wings. We tried them a few months ago and they were outstanding. He used a par-braising technique which probably isn't necessary, the rest of the recipe was basically sprinkle with lemon pepper and hot sauce and cook, sprinkling with more lemon pepper while they're on the egg. Maybe someone can help out with a link?

    The nice thing about wings is that you can easily make a few different styles in the same cook...something for everyone.

    Where do you get the Carnivore?

    "Big'un" on here makes it (Georgia). He makes the Robust (original), a Chipotle (hotter) and recently a 'Sweet'.

    It is best to order a case, as the shipping charge is a little steep for individual bottles. My wife thinks the Robust is the best BBQ sauce she has ever had. :)

    The first time, I ordered a case and either sold bottles to fellow eggers or gave some away as gifts. Have ordered a second case since then and "keeping it all to myself". :woohoo:
