My wife got me a Vortex for my birthday last week. She gets me...
So first off, lover her for the gift!!! Today I tried it out for the first time, wings of course.
Wings all prepped up. I followed the directions that came with the Vortex, and drizzled them with some oil, and then a generous sprinkling of Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning (Our go to for wings)
Ring of wings around the new Vortex
Hard to tell in this pic, but the color change on the '83 red was quick and awesome!
This was about an hour and twenty minutes (a bit too long, but I got caught up in other things)
Tossed with some red hot wing sauce
This thing is a game changer for wings!!!They came out SUPER CRISPY!
I over cooked them a little bit, but I think getting them off around the hour mark would have been perfect. It was cold and windy today, so I was a little doubtful if the Vortex would have been able to pull off crispy wings, but it totally worked perfectly. I also think getting bigger/fatter wings would have helped too.
My overall impression, best wings I've ever had coming off the grill. I was thinking about flouring them, but I prefer naked wings and they could have not been better. They totally had the crispy fried skin I was hoping for.
So to sum up: love my wife, love the Vortex! My wife already suggested we make wings tomorrow for MNF.
