fool proof chicken wings
Group,
I want to do the following: Take whole chicken wings (not separate them - let the eater do that) and fold them locking the "arm" against the body, marinate them and smoke them. I'm thinking something like zesty Italian dressing should give them some nice zing and help keep the moisture in, and just use ROC (maybe a little oak or apple sawdust to help keep the heat going). Does that sound like a pretty good plan for doing them fool proof? How about time about 2 hours if it does not get that hot? thanks in advance! |

Well.....it ain't barbecue - or even grilling for that matter, but my recipe for foolproof (buffalo style) chicken wings is to marinade them in a mixture of Blue Dragon hot sauce and melted butter, then deep fry them.....it makes a mess of the oil, but it makes for great wings! To be honest, I haven't had much luck with smoking wings even though I have tried many times - the skin tends to come out too rubbery and I like mine crispy. Grilling at higher temperatures works better, but deep frying gives the best results in my opinion. Your mileage may vary. |

How- ever, I fry wings naked rather then marinated. While they're fresh from the fryer, I toss them in a mixture of Crystal Hot Sauce and butter, then salt them liberally. When nobody is looking I like to bolster the Crystal sauce with something a little hotter. Lately, I've been grilling wings on my little Farberware electric grill, then treat them the same as fried. (I'm too lazy to mess with a gallon of oil for only a half dozen or so wings.) -- Brick(Breaking in a new upright freezer) |

fool proof chicken wings
I remove the tips and marinate the wings in apple juice for a day. . .
or use a vacuum for a few hours. Occasionally, I dump in a teaspoon or two of my dry rub mix. The wings then get smoked with pecan or apple wood until they are at 175f. Even with the damper open, the smoker leaves them a bit grayish and with rubbery skin, so I then flame them briefly on my infrared grill- about 45 seconds per side. This gives the skin a pretty color and a bit of crunch. They're served with either Rudy's or KC Masterpiece on the side. -- ---Nonnymus--- Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. |

I'm going to give your method a go as marinated wings just destroy the oil for any further use. Mind you, I like the crispy fried hot sauce flavour. I'm also with you on not frying just a few - too much mess and waste oil. I tend to do them when we have a lot of people over and do several pounds at a time. |

The smoke flavor was not too harsh with slight flavor from me adding Box Elder wood (and sawdust). The smoker is working quite well with using good (ROC) hardwood charcoal. Next week I think might be time to use the gas for steaks and/or burgers. A bit boring compared to smoking, but given my personal schedule it might be a bit easier to manage. |
