Piri Piri Wings

[MrHoss]

Picked this up at Costco today:



Top 10 ingrediants:

dehydrated vegetables (onion, garlic, carrot. tomato)
corn maltodextrin
sugar
spices and herbs (including red pepper)
salt
glucose solids
natural flavour (lemon and lime juice solids)
high oleic sunflower oil
spice extractives
sodium acetate

Grabbed a pack of the nice Costco wings too.  Took about half the pack or so and coated thinly with light olive oil then sprinkled with the new rub.  Covered and in the fridge for 4 hours:



Onto the kettle with oak, black cherry and hickory chunks.  Shooting for a smoking temp in the 220-240f range:



It was raining out so I was on the front porch:



After about and hour and a half and ready to start grilling:



I moved the fire bricks to form a V, pack the inside with fresh lit lump and cook the wings just off the heat rotating as I go:



Done, no sauce:



On the platter:



Me and the wife ate these with piri piri sauce and some yogurt blue cheese dressing she has.  Normally do not touch blue cheese dressing but I tried some then finished my wings with a mix of it and the hot sauce....I have discoved that the smoke flavour blends VERY well with this milder blue cheese dressing.

Nice cook - my mouth is watering!

If you cook wings a bunch, you might want to check out one of these - no need to move or turn the wings.  Pretty handy:

Look really good.
Nothing beats wings on the pit vs. Any other way IMO.

That vortex inverted come device looks interesting. Anyone use one?
Seems a good way to do wings. Smoke em then put a few at a time over the vortex device.

Those wings look delicious. I plan to look for that rub the next time I'm in Costco.

Great looking wings, Hoss!!

Man, I go by the spice aisle every time I'm in Costco. Never seen that stuff. Will have to look closer next time.

Yum! I'm a wing lover and those look great.

Costco is never the same even within the same city, it can be frustrating. Around here we sometimes go to the Costco closest to the border and it's heavy Mexican food influenced which is great. I'll look for the piri today at my local costco.
