Hey Guy,
I thought you might be inteterested in this. Looks like the Dizzy Pig boys do a Breaded Grilled "almost fried Chicken Wings on the grill. I don't know if they do it in competition, but this recipe is on their website.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Breaded Slow-Grilled Almost-Fried Chicken Wings[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Makes 12-15 wings[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Breading:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup corn meal
2 tbsp Dizzy Pig rub (works well with all rubs except Cow Lick....I used Tsunami Spin
2 tsp salt[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Egg Wash:
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
[/FONT][FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica](you might need 2 eggs and 1 cup milk for a large batch)[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Technique:
First thing I do is clip off the wing tips, and reserve for making chicken broth. [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]And trim any hanging pieces of skin at the other end.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Mix the egg and milk in one bowl. In another, the flour, corn meal, Dizzy Pig Rub, and salt, and mix well.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Cover the wing in the eggwash, and shake off excess.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Roll the wing in the flour mixture, and try and cover fully and evenly. Shake off excess, as you just need a thin even coating.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Refrigerate breaded wings for an hour or more to set coating.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Spray (or wipe) cooking grid with oil, and place wings on oiled grate of a 250 degree established fire, approximately 12-15 inches above the coals. Close cooker, and wait 30 minutes before flipping (assuming fire is low). Oftentimes I will rotate the grate 180 degrees after the first 15 minutes, just to compensate for any hot spots in the fire.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Once coating has started to set up on side one, they are ready to flip. CAREFUL!!! This is the trickiest part. If you simply pick up the wings to flip, you could lose some of the coating, so I came up with a little trick that works well for me. Gently slide the wings back and forth parallel to the grate bars without lifting. Just enough to break lose any areas that might be sticking. Once they are free, then gently flip to the other side.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Another half hour (rotating grid halfway if you want) and they are ready to flip again.....CAREFULLY! You can see they are starting to brown nicely...and evenly.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]After the first hour, I start flipping every 20 minutes, and moving the pieces around to finish all pieces evenly.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Cooking times will vary depending on the conditions in your cooker, but when they look like they are almost done, I sometimes sauce with a real thin coating. 20-30 more minutes and the sauce caramelizes into the crunchy breaded coating. Great without sauce too, so I change it up to keep things interesting![/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]The kids like ranch dressing, so this is what we dipped the wings in tonight.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Rip em apart at the joint, and savor the crunchy skin and sweet juicy meat![/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Enjoy, everyone! And thanks for the inspiration Ron![/FONT]

This seems like an interesting way to go, expecially with the BGE and my consistent chicken failures. Thanks for posting the detail so I could get motivated! I do like several of D.P's rubs after trying their sample pack .... mostly for grilling and 'in-between' cooks.

those look great.
thats one thing about this site. New ideads!!
