Orange Marmalade Sriracha Wings - a first for me

I've seen these since Larry first posted it in 2009 but I haven't tried it until now.

I don't have Wolfe Rub Citrus so I used some Bicentennial Rub from Penzy's

This is probably when I checked them after the first 20 minutes:

They cooked faster than I expected - I only used 1 chimney in the WSM with no water pan, but the temp was right around 225-250F the whole time. I used a big chunk of apple branch (several fists)

I sauced them after I saw the above temp, twice, with 5 minutes in between. I wanted to wait for my lunch buddy to get here so I closed all the vents on the WSM and waited another 15 minutes.

That's the last of my home made blue cheese - not the best I've made, and not a good picture of it.

I planned on adding a lot of fresh ginger & soy sauce, but I thought that might make it too close to Kaz's Carnival Kabobs (try them if you haven't), and I wanted to try the real deal.

These were really good, don't get me wrong, but I prefer more heat and a slightly different flavor. I'll do them again but I'll add soy & ginger next time, or maybe make it a touch more like terriyaki. No matter what I say, these are better than anything that's ever came out of BWW - they're GREAT, but I'm going to try a few tweaks to make them a little more mine.
 
The wings look awesome Clint, great color on them. Kaz's carnival kabobs recipe sounds great too, I'll have to remember to try that one out soon.
 
looks GREAT Clint!
Remember, any unused leftover orange marmalade sauce IS freezable... however, it with NOT freeze, but STILL good for your next batch. ;)
simply pour into a freezer ziplock bag or vac seal bag and lay flat.
 
I bookmarked that recipe a while back but haven't done it yet. Your go at it Clint looks fantastic. Perfect color and just know they were delicious.
 
200º+ seems high for finishing temp but I sure liked the looks of them. How dry were they?

Very juicy. I normally shoot for 185-195F, never glaze, but these were very good.

Fresh wings is my secret - I can't turn out anything edible when the wings have been injected & frozen.
