grilled flappers

[Jim Lampe]

chicken drummies & flappers in this thing

two outside the basket were marinated in some severe hot sauce, only did two for a test.

this basket doesn't work too well, since the handle does not detach....

...and flare ups are quite major....

and the flaps get charred well before the bird parts are cooked...

butt, i controlled the heat and the flames by removing the chicken before it's death.

sauced them to cool them off a bit...

then back on the grill out of the stinkin' basket.

...with a couple of nopales... added a few halved Yukons and served it all up

the flaps were GREAT! charred only a bit, Pappy's "Holly's Hot Sauce" is FANTASTIC! THANK YOU BOB!!!
not sure what to do with the basket, i may cut the handle off & rig it so it can be used without a perm handle...
anyway...
Thank you for stoppin' by, SoLong!

Awesome looking wings and sides Jim! Hey Amazon has an excellent return policy!

 

[Tony R]

Jim... The wings look good I like a nice char on them.

The flappers, nopales, and taters look fantastic, Jim! Bummer that the basket didn't work out as planned.

 

[Jim Lampe]

thanks you guys
mike, i bought it at home depot.
i'll use it.
if not for grilling, works well with sliced fruit in it for birds

Great post as usual jim, only you can turn a disaster into a victory.

[Tim McCann]

[Paul Kastner]

from the jaws of defeat comes a great victory.

 

[Andy Wasserman]

Nice save brother!

 

[Sean H]

Nice wings, Jim! I actually like a lot of char on my wings. It pairs well with wing sauce IMO.

 

[Morgan C.]

Oh Jim that looked great...I think I have that same grill basket...been hanging in the garage for years collecting dust...looks like you overcame and conquered!! Great work!

 

[John Solak]

You should try a rotisserie basket or better yet a ribolater next time!! Great save on those wings, they still look great!

 

[PaulG]

Jim,Your the Man! Good looking meal there,with a great save. Can't get better than that.

 

[Rick Body]

I have that same basket Jim that I also bought at home depot, specifically for fish. It didnt work well for fish either. It cooked it but no grill marks and no good color.

Good save on the wings!

 

[Jim Lampe]

thanks everyone
george, it is non-stick... the only problem i have with it is the lid of the kettle can not be closed.
the dang thing cleaned up well after dinner... i see a modification in it's future...

 

[Kim Drana]

Jim I could smell those flappers from here! They look very tasty I must say!

 

[Troy Lew]

Nothing like a few wrinkles to keep a man on his toes. Looks like you we're successful in rising to the occasion. I agree cut that handle off and figure another way to flip'em.

Jim, whatever mod you come up with I'm sure it will become the envy of the forum. Great wings and like a bit char on them as well.
