Title: Chicken Wings
Post by: BobDE on December 24, 2016, 09:25:49 AM
Did my first chicken wings on the BESRG. They were good, but not as crisp as we like. Would opening the lid make a difference?

We used Franks and butter on half. Did not see much difference. May just put the sauce on at the table next time.

Before you put them in the chamber did you dry them off really good and did you use any oil?  Dry skin with oil = crispy skin
Also you might want to leave them in the fridge uncovered for a few hrs before cooking to air dry the skin

Lid up or down to me makes no difference while they are cooking, but i do open the lid last few mins just to release any moister that's in the chamber.  You could even rest them in the chamber for a few mins after you turn it off

Obie-Wan-Ka-Tommy know the Big Easy force....listen to him on this and have crispy chicken skin...( Even leave my split in half chickens in the fridge for 1-2 days prior to cooking.)

Everyime I've cooked wings, I've done it with the lid closed and the wings at the top of the chamber... crispy everytime.
