I made some really tasty wings vortex wings tonight. Second time I've done them this way but first time I was able to document with pictures.
Coals getting started. I used some leftover lump and fresh Stubbs along with 2 fire cubes in the vortex. It worked fine but took longer than just using the chimney, so I would do that next time.
2 pounds of wings and drums tossed with salt and pepper
Each wing gets a light dredging of flour, it really helps crisp up the skin
Coals ready and grill preheated
Wings on with a big chunk of pecan
25 minutes later (grill temp about 550-600 degrees)
A lot of the color that developed is from the smoke, they turn out lighter like fried wings if you skip the wood chunk. Really nice and crsipy, even the last ones that were sitting in the bottom of the sauce bowl for a while.
Tossed with Frank's RedHot mixed with melted butter and a little juice from some homemade picketed jalapeņos. We made a salad out of the veggies served on the side with buffalo wings... Celery, carrot, green onion, with lettuce and tossed with blue cheese dressing.
