Title: PBC Wings
Post by: HighOnSmoke on October 15, 2015, 06:53:53 PM: Wings were cooked in the PBC using ¾ chimney of Cowboy Lump. Temperature stayed steady at 350 degrees
with the lid partially cracked. Total cook time was 30 minutes.

Served with store bought sweet potato fries, garlic toast and ranch dressing.

Moist and tender with crispy skin. Delicious meal!

Yep..used one of the rebar to raise the lid. Next time I will use a little more lump.

Post by: Jaxon on October 15, 2015, 09:51:12 PM: You're not supposed to use it with the lid cracked and 1 rebar out...and 1/2 chimney of charcoal.
That's another thing I like about your cooking, Mike...you think outside the box and think about new ways to use your cookers.

What spices are on the wings?

I tried a recipe that I found on America's Test Kitchen:

1 1/2 tsp corn starch (helps crisping)
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp sugar

You will notice NO SALT. I brined the wings in 1/2 cup of salt water (2 quarts) for 30 minutes, then seasoned right before putting on the grill.

I will be using this one again. The corn starch, to me, works better than baking powder.

Thanks for the recipe. Great to see that. The sugar would help with the coloring and crispiness too as it caramelizes in the heat.

Great job and thanks for the post.

Post by: DonR9 on October 21, 2015, 08:10:24 PM: I love wings. Problem is, my wife isn't. And she spells isn't with all capital letters. Nonetheless, I'm going to try this. I'm a big fan of America's Test Kitchen, so I'll do the rub you used as well as brining the wings before hand.

Let's put it this way. My wife like it as it is. ;) I think it was real good but could have used some red pepper flakes or cayenne. But that is my preference. Without the heat it is good.

Post by: ChrisD46 on October 28, 2015, 04:29:19 PM: Mike , did America's Test Kitchen indicate how many wings the rub recipe was good for ?
The corn starch idea for crisping sounds interesting ...
