Bull First attempt at wings

[TomL]

225 for 45 minutes then up to 450, skin was nice and crispy.

How long at 450? Haven’t tried wings on the stampede yet.

I like to boil my wings first and then bake at 425 for 30 min. Nice and crispy!

 

[TomL]

I was working in the yard wasn't paying close attention, close to 45 minutes. A few were a little overcooked but most were juicy and crispy.

Glad you got crispy skin...something I've not gotten yet. BUT...practice makes perfect. I suspect I've not had heat set high enough.

 

[Lawman]

Gonna have to try wings soon.
Wife prepped a buffalo chicken cheese dip in a cast iron skillet. I'm smoking it on the 700. First time I did this, it was amazing. now to see if i can repeat or if it was a fluke.

I have heard coating wings with a mix of salt and baking powder will crisp the skin without frying. I am going to test it soon. On my WSM i would smoke them then flash fry them and they were delicious

I tried the baking powder trick and absolutely hated it. I don't think I put too much on either. The taste was terrible and inedible.

Hmmmm..............I guess I'll scratch that cooking tip off my list!

The baking powder and kosher salt works great for me, you can also use cornstarch with the same kosher salt. I've heard of people using baking soda this will make the chicken taste terrible.

Yes I've never had a problem with taste . It works great. It it was almost mega salty tasting you used too much.

Just a couple months with the Bull and I’ve only done wings once so far. Added cornstarch to the rub on my wings based on my wife’s look of horror when I mentioned possibly using baking powder. I had no noticeable issues with the taste but thought the crispness was only slightly better. Still a work in progress for me at this point.
