Boneless chicken wings.

[KC Smoke]

My pops turned me on to a really cool prep for wings that I had to give a go. I see some crazy awesome potential for these. First things first I deboned the wings leaving the skin intact. I should have taken pics of the process but you end up turning the wing inside out.



I went with two different, completely off the hip, variations. My all purpose rub on half and an applewood smoked salt blend I picked up.



Cooked 'em up super hot and indirect on the Weber with lump and hickory chips. I used the chips right as I threw the yardbird on for some intense initial smoke but then more restricted smoke once they burned off.





I threw together some random sauces. For the applewood smoked salt wings I brushed with a combo of mayo, evoo and more of the same seasoning. The BBQ rubbed wings got brushed with a combo of Cowtown, horseradish mustard and pickled jalapeno juice.





Plated up with some simpletons. Man, these turned out awesome! The high heat thoroughly rendered the skin leaving them completely bite through and the flavors mingled really well. These things are like meat on a stick without the stick. I'm thinking next time I'm gonna stuff the inside with some blue cheese and pin the opening with a toothpick then finish them with classic buffalo sauce. Something tells me that "next time" will real soon.

Wow, so that's either really easy or you have a lot of farking patience... They look awesome!

 

[Smoke Dawg]

I like these!

 

[Shagdog]

Awesome!

 

[Seefyre]

Incredible!

How tedious is that de-boning process? In terms of time, how long did it take you? I've done a few tur-duck-ens but the small nature of wings scares me a bit.

That is super cool!
I have done them that way on a skewer, but never deboned.
Please share your process, I'm doing wings today and would love to de bone them

They aren't too time consuming and I was definitely getting faster as I went. I think it took about 15 minutes to do 8 wings. I think with some practice I can get them down to less than a minute per each.
It's honestly pretty barbaric. Cut the tendons off the bone at the "shoulder" joint and rip the meat down over the "elbow" turning it inside out. Break the joint and remove the first bone. Repeat the same basic process on the next segment and voila.

I love the method!!! There's just something about ripping meat off the bone...

That is bad azz! I don't have the patients to debone them, but my son loves that kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing.

I've been wanting to try those. Thinking of stuffing them with a few different flavours. Now you've got me craving them! Nice job

 

[Stingerhook]

Those are some fantastic looking wings. Never would have thought to de-bone until now.

I came in here expecting to see chicken breast cut in the shape of wings. Battered and fried like restaurants do. Wow what an awesome surprise!
Gotta try this one.:clap:

 

[LMAJ]

Those look awesome. As I was reading I was thinking... bet they would be good stuffed with something... :-D

 

[Blue Smoke BBQ]

Just copied you, I did about a dozen, took about 45 minutes.
Got better with each one, going to grill them similar too!
Thanks again for sharing!
I have always told people there is no such thing as a boneless wing, I now stand corrected!
