Yet another chicken meal. None- voteable

A simple meal, but I hope you will enjoy it none the less.

Once in a while, I have guests that burn a lot of calories each day. My nephew, a member of the Norwegian national bicycle team is one of them. He is quite naturally much more picky about his food intake than most of us, and he was visiting.
So I made chicken wings, something that he really liked. He eats four times as much food as me, and is thin as as a stick, but that can easily be explained.
I decided to make chicken wings, and brined eight pounds of them with salt and sugar for a few hours.. Here, out of the brine, ready for my home made sauce.

I removed the pan from my WSM. I really like to cook chickens on the WSM, since as the flare-ups will not reach the food at all. I fire it up with lump and let it rip as high as it will go. I’ve done this dozens of times, with moist and tender results each time. Where did I learn this approach? On this forum, of course!

This is about half of the wings. It’s nice to be able to use the whole cooking area when you want to make a lot of wings at once.

And a plated picture, with the wings, some white bread, buttered, a salad with lemon scented olive oil and Feta cheese made in Turkey. We have a local shop where I live that sells this tasty cheese.

As always, thank you for your time, my friends.

Hi, can I ask a question too?
Where Were These Wings LAST MONTH!??!
Sir Geir, You'd CERTAINLY "kick Lampe's @ss" with these!!! ;)
you trying to be a fanboy Geir...???? :p
 
Where is the ranch/blue cheese dressing Geir? Us Americans in our quest to become the fattest beings on the planet, never eat wings without some kind of mayo based dressing. Wings look great though, very well done.
 
Thank you all for the nice comments.

I'll answer some questions- I dumped three quarter of a chimney's worth of lump over some half burned briquettes, opened all the vents wide, and allowed the WSM to go as high as it could. The cooking time was between twenty and thirty minutes, I guess. some half burned pieces of apple wood was mixed up in this, as well. I'm not a fan of strong smoke flavour on chicken. I cooked two full grates of wings, and the amount of coals were more than enough.

When it comes to mayo dressings, let's put it like this, I'm not overweight, but I'm quite undertall.
According to BMI standards, I should try to gain about four to five inches. I do my best, but it is not easy.
Because of this, I usually use a teaspoon of a delicious Italian extra virgine lemon scented olive oil that a friend of mine imports. The fresh lemons are actually pressed with the olives, and this gives the oil a taste I have not found in any other scented oil I have tried.
