Guess What -OR- Perfect Wings Every Time

I first tried making wings like this at a friends house probably back in 2011, using their gas grill. I was used to charcoal and I was really surprised at how good they came out.

I still prefer charcoal, sometimes, but I do them all the time on my gasser with great results.

I see people complain about their skin etc, and if you haven't had good success with wings yet, try this.

Run them hot and indirect. I check them at 20 minutes, then 10 more, and they're usually done. Today it took around 35 minutes to get the color I like. I normally pull between 185 & 195, but today I was going by color.

The wings were rubbed with Walkerswood Jerk paste while the grill heated up with some leftover hickory in the Moe's smokin pouch.

that's about 5 celery stalks halved lengthwise then in halves/thirds, with a little litehouse blue cheese

Clint;
Those are some "yummy lookin'" wings, for sure. I always brine my chicken parts, then use either Weber's Kick 'n Chicken or Walkerswood Jerk paste (mixed in enough EVOO to make a slurry). If I have time, I let the chicken parts marinate in the Walkerswood slurry overnight. The longer they marinate, the more intense the flavor of the jerk seasoning.

Since the traditional wood is prohibitively expensive, I use a couple pieces of pecan for smokewood. Applewood works well, also.

FWIW
Keep on smokin',

The wingman strikes again, great looking wings Clint, will have to try that high heat method. I don't make them to often because I don't make them very well.
 
Tasty Looking wings!

That's how I make then in the Mini-WSM, High temp, no diffuser, usually lump and a mix of cherry and pecan, so good!
 
The wings look fantastic. Walkerswood is the best stuff, imho. Busha Brown jerk is right up there, too. Kinda hard to find, though.
