WSM Buffalo Wings in 6 Easy Steps

[Jon Des.]

Here's how I do it.

1. Light coals.

2. Joint the flappers. I use Alton Brown's method which is fast and easy.

3. Coals in the bottom, waterpan out, one lump of apple on the coals, wings on the top rack, all vents wide open, door cracked slightly open to get temps in the 325 range.

4. Make the sauce. Here's what I started with. I ended up with a tiny bit more butter and some Sriracha to get the heat/acidity just right.

5. Tossed.

6. Plated. Mine were sauced, Erin's had it on the side.

Thanks for looking!

a water-pan-less wsm is my favorite way to do grilled wing. Try mixing in a hot tub for a bit of a braise. I usually do something like 20 min direct, 20 hot tub, 20 direct. They end tender and crispy

Well done! Those are some great looking wings.

I don't think a lot of people know the pan-less method, so I wanted to share. But I shall give your braised method a try. I assume the hot tub is wing sauce?

Fantastic looking wings!!

6 steps is good for me--I won't have to take off my shoes to keep track of where I am! Great looking wings! I have drumsticks, Buffalo style, on the menu tomorrow, and I hope they're even half as good as your wings!

I might be new to the WSM, but not to grilling. Hot tub??? Could you help a cracker out?

 

[Earl D.]

I've never heard of a hot tub either?

Did you use any brown sugar in your sauce?

 

[Jabe G]

Those look great!

I'm hoping J comes back to comment, but I'm guessing its similar to a brat hot tub which is generally a foil pan with beer and/or butter on the grill.

No brown sugar in my wing sauce, just what was pictured.

Nice looking wings...

Great job on the wings. Love how you kicked them up with the Sriracha
