method for grilling chicken wings

[petewv]

What method do you use when BBQ chicken wings on a charcoal grill? There has got to be more to it than just lighting the charcoal and putting them on the grill. The wings I order from a restaurant were so juicy and tender. School me on grilling wings

Many ways to do it. Two of my go-to methods are:

1. Indirect at 350 for about an hour
2. Indirect/smoke 225 - 250 for a couple hours, then finish over the direct fire

You can certainly just light the Charcoal and grill them, but I think the indirect method let's some of the fat render over a longer period of time. This leaves you with juicier wings that fall off the bone more than straight grilled wings.

I brine all my chicken and turkey over night in a heavy solution of salt.This helps to add moisture to them.

The Alton Brown method. They come out crispy and moist. I do them on the grill not the oven. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/buffalo-wings-recipe.html

I like to marinate them in whichever sauce overnight, then indirect grill...

My 270 is an awesome chicken cooker but nowhere near as quick as my kettle with the Vortex in it. It cooks to me perfect wings and thighs that are juicy and crispy.

Mr. Tony's way. Then mix 1/2 stick melted butter w/ 1/4 cup of Frank's hot sauce if people want them Buffalo way. Smoosh some of them around in that and see if you like it.

I AGREE WITH Evil-q. The Vortex is the answer:thumb:

I brine for 4-6 hours, rinse, pat dry, thin coat of oil that'll stand up to high heat, dust with something and then onto a screaming hot something. Sometimes it's the kettle but, mostly the gasser.

Where is the spam? Is this web site only for the professional cooks with 1500 ++ smokers that cook 40+ hours a week? Thanks to the people that did give me a few hints and infromation on cooking wigs. I guess this is not the site for me. I have a few more question but I do not think this is the web site for it.

Exactly! The 270 is a chicken boss but all my wings go on the kettle with a vortex. greatest thing ever.

Nope. If you're looking to cook wigs, you're in the wrong place.... damned "hairbrained idea" if you ask me.

On the other hand... I think Ninja was suggesting smoking Spam along with some wings.

I've frequently done the hi-temp smoker method... and I usually end up with all the wings on the gasser to achieve that crispy skin and the "crispy bits" that Momma raves about.

You had three links to another forum about walleye burried in a question about chicken wings. This is a forum to ask about outdoor cooking, but like many forums across the web, cross posting and gratuitous linking is not always welcome.

Hence the reason I ignored your post... about wigs

I haven't been here for a few days and now we are grilling wigs??? Man, I'm confused.

Don't feel bad, I have been here a few years and I'm confused as well. BBQ Smoked and injected chicken wings I can understand.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What Evil-q says. The Vortex gets used every time I cook any type of chicken.

I thought that too because of the the links in the OP. I clicked one, and they are to the same question on a walleye forum.

and +1 on the vortex.
