That's a great method, fry em, then toss in sauce and grill, we used to do that when I worked at Outback, we'd actually throw the wings in the smoker on the bottom of the ribs, then when they came out, fry for a couple minutes to crunch up, then toss in sauce and grill on the char griller. Best wings I ever had. Tender, crunchy, carmelized wing sauce on em. They were very good.

The fry-and-grill method is nearly fool proof. You get a nice saucey wing that still has the crispiness on the outside. That method is the reason that Elmo's and Caputi's are my two favorite wing joints in WNY. 1

Fry them low for a few minutes, then take them out and let them sit for about 10mins in the basket. Crank the heat and fry'em HOT for 5 mins. The last time I made wings I did the double fry and it worked very well.

Why don't you enjoy some variety Gugs? Lemon pepper dry rubbed and smoked is the best wings available. True story.

True story. Extra hot wings from Bar Bill are the best. Truth be told, I've ne'er had a smoked wing. However, I've had wings roasted in a wood burning oven and wished I'd gotten a burger, instead.
Soda Popinski Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Roasted sounds like the worst way to cook a wing. Broiled I can see because that heat is going to crisp up that skin but you'll still have one side not getting that heat and that side is nasty. That's why frying or grilling are the best because you never get that one soggy side. I will say when i'm in the mood for a nugget I like to use rice flour, it doesn't brown as easily as wheat flour and you end up with a crispy nugget you can make into zingers by tossing in some wing sauce. I like to do the honey chipotle bbq like they do at chilis.

You need to give them a toss in equal parts salt and baking powder and then refrigerate them on a wire rack (uncovered) for 12+ hours before baking at 450 for about 40 minutes--flipping halfway through. Take 'em out, toss 'em in your sauce, pop 'em back in for 3-5 minutes to crisp up and serve. 1
shrader Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 I was a fan of the drums originally. My dad and I would always be racing to find as many of those as we could. At this point, I think I'd want a 50/50 split. Both have their moments.

Being the OCD sort that I am, I've been known to count if indeed I did get 50 wings in the order. It suddenly occurs to me a wing is one drum and one flat, therefore, shouldn't there be 50 drums and 50 flats in the barrel? It's an outrage! Call Brian Higgins! (technically, he's my Congressman.)

I never understood the super hot wing thing. I mean, you can make a hot sauce as hot as you want it to be. If you make it hot enough, all you are going to do is blow your tastebuds on the first wing such that you can't really taste anything that follows. I don't see the point of that. 4
