Tried grilling wings for the first time and really wasn’t a huge fan of them. The texture on some of the wings wasn’t great and kind of stringy. If anyone has any tips or advice I’d love to hear it.

    Lay out your wings on paper towel for like 30 mins let them dry then dab them with it. I add a few dry rub seasonings. Salt pepper what ever else you want. This will make the skin dry up so it will get crispy on the grill. Rotate when you cook. I rotate every 2-3 mins for 20-30 mins on low heat on blackstone.

    They may need more time. Take them to 185*+F. Needs to break down some of those stringy bits more.

    Look good to me (maybe a few more minutes)

    A longer cook will definitely help. Wings are pretty forgiving with temperature.

  5. If you have a Weber charcoal grill. Look up vortex wings. You will change your mind.

    Wings were made to be fried, but I think grilling is the best way finish up smoked wings.

    I really don’t see any point to grilling wings as opposed to frying, smoking, or baking.

    The direct heat from the grill only creates texture along the grill lines, which is not what I want when eating wings.

    I prefer a more encompassing crispiness, meaning wider, less focused heat does the job so much better.

    Just my opinion.

  9. Grilled wings are the bomb.. Keep practicing.. You’ll get it down packed..

    “First Time” and “Not a Huge Fan” should never follow each other. Especially in cooking.

  11. grillies be like “I love slimy burnt rubber”

  12. I have a rotisserie accessory for my grill and got a “wing basket”, they tumble and turn into golden delicious wings.

    I typically reverse sear them. Dry brine overnight, cook on wire rack over pan in oven for around 20 min per side at around 200ish, then put them on Blackstone and sear all around. They turn out great IMO but it is a bit of a process.

    I do mine on Weber kettle grill. Get coals ripping hot and grill indirect. Coals on one side and wings on other with damper all the way open on the side the wings are on. I just let them go for 1.5-2 hours, let cool a bit, then sauce them in a bowl. The indirect heat almost acts like a convection oven and get’s them very crispy. Only way i’ll ever cook wings.

    I will cook them at 300 in the oven until they are done and then crisp them on the grill for some flavor. I agree with the cornstarch and starting with dry wings.

    1. Dry rub
    2. Grill them until they get grill marks, +/- 10 minutes per side
    3. Transfer them to a sheet pan with a wire rack on it
    4. n the oven at 225 for 3-5 hours.

    They’re exceptional

    The sear looks good. I would have cooked them over indirect heat for a bit longer.

    The char and sear a good but then you need to cook them low and slow for the texture to be more tender. Smoker or oven for 2 hours
