Getting ready for the Super Bowl party, I'm bringing the wings this year...
Tested 2 types today, looking for some heat, but also flavor and a good bite. Did Maryland style with some Chesapeake bay seasoning, and a Cajun style with creole seasoning.
Let's do this.
Season includes baking powder, place in fridge overnight....
Cajun..

Fired up the PBC, threw in two hunks of cherry wood...

25 minutes in, give them a flip...

Time to start the sauces...
Cajun is Krystal, butter, and dash of W-Shire, and heavy squirt od Sriracha.

Maryland is butter, Krystal, a large dose of Worcestershire, and some old bay seasoning...

45 minutes, pull the wings, sauce and eat.... Just a test run so none of the pretty stuff on top like parsley or chives...

Awesome flavor on both, a bit more heat on the Cajun, and a super crisp, awesome bite. The cherry smoke was a nice addition.
Yep, I've found my recipes!
-
There were more on each plate, but a few friends popped in and plowed half the wings before I could get a pic!
-
Great looking wings!
Thanks for the detailed sauce instructions!

My bad, it's Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce... My favorite!

Good looking wings...
Was I the baking powder that gave 'em the crispy bite? I'll have to try that next time.

I think so... And they were great!
1 tblsp in with the seasoning, worked great. The bones of each recipe came from the meatwave site. I may have used some Todd's Cajun Dirt, McCormick 5 Pepper, Old Bay, and a few other staples as we'll between the two batches... ;-)
And I left them open air on a baking rack in the beer fridge downstairs, which I think was the other important part... The fridge smells awesome now, btw, so be certain the wife, husband, partner, room mate, cat or dog don't mind the lingering smell of seasoned chicken before putting in the main fridge!

Will need a head count if everyone wants wings... And maybe a couple more cookers if everyone shows up at once!
What if I used a couple bricks and went with a second grate... Think that would work? Or would the top layer suffer a less crisp skin?
Maybe more testing needs to happen next weekend! Will need to invite more friends to make them disappear.
Thoughts?

I think you need to invite the friends and do another test taste. ;)

Is that lighter fluid I saw???

Yes... Sometimes I use fluid. Sometimes I use a starter chimney. Not a difference either way.

Good stuff, I'm planning on making both batches of these for the Super Bowl.

Man they looks so mean and yummy.

try using Argo Corn Starch instead of the baking powder next time
I thought about corn starch, but wasn't sure of the outcome. Do you mind letting us know how the cornstarch works out?
-
the corn starch is supposed to give you a dryer, crisper skin than flour our baking powder
saw it on America's Test Kitchen
the standard ingredient for skin in Oriental stir fry
Cool! I'll have to look that one up! Thx!
