Using 80% full Weber Rapidfire chimney of KBB in the charcoal baskets situated in the middle of the kettle.  Placed the wings around the edges for indirect cooking.  Vents wide open with a chunk of hickory.

What was your marinade, Cap? They have a great color! Your first picture is the best for me with the background shot in there too. Good job!

@Travis I drizzled a little peanut oil on them yesterday and sprinkled Paul Prudhomme Blackened Rub On Them, Stuck em in the fridge overnight. No marinade.

@Loonysup about 35 minutes after I closed the lid after arranging the wings around the perimeter.. Never took a temperature, just let it rip with the vents wide open.  When i opened the lid they were nice and crispy on the outside- done.

They literally come out as if they were crispy fried and I won't cook wings any other way.  In fact I rarely order them out at restaurants any more because they're rarely as good.

I've done them with a gadget that is shaped like a vortex and I've done them with the two charcoal baskets pushed together in the center.  Haven't found any difference.

The first time I cooked wings on my kettle they came out like that.  I guess that was beginners luck as the next time they weren't as crispy.   Guess I need more practice.

You really want to have the coals going and another key is to start out by patting dry the chicken to remove any water before you lightly coat them with the peanut oil and rub.
That's all i could think of if you're doing everything else the same.
