Wing Preference

SmoknCamo · Posted: Feb 07 2010 Post subject: Wing Preference

Hello!

How do you prefer chicken wings, deep fried or smoked?

I know this might be a silly question being the "smoke"ring but I wanted to hear from you.

I like smoked then grilled but deep frying wings is darn good to...going to a Super Bowl party tonight and cannot decide how to cook them!

What do you guys think?

If I had a fryer, I would go that route. I do not, so I grill them on my gasser. I use a wood chip box on the gasser that does a decent enough job of adding smoke flavor.

I would go with whichever way is the easiest for today. Either method is awesome in terms of taste. The method that allows me to knock out a bunch of them and be done is the route I would take.

Good luck!

I like em fried! And the sauce must be able to singe your nose hair!

Thanks for the responses!

Since I will be firing up the smoker for ABT's this could be a good day to try them both ways and see what everyone likes better.

I have a deep fryer so frying them is no big deal.

Thanks again!

You could smoke them untill almost done then crisp them up in the fryer.

I brine the wings for about an hour, then fire the smoker up to 350 and smoke them.

I have a whole flock of wings that will be hitting the smoker later today.

I like my wings grilled or fried,this is the only way to get that nice crisp skin that I desire,Im not saying smoking wings is wrong,I like them that way as well but the skin is never as crisp as I would like,just my 2 cents. Very Happy

I toss them in evoo and whatever seasoning you would prefer, i use lots of kickn' chikn' and big ron's. I put them on the uds that is at least 275 degrees or more, cook til done. Toss them in your favorite sauce, I sometimes use homemade sweet and spicy bbq sauce, sometimes use a buffalo sauce.
I prefer these smoked wings to fried anyday...if you eat 'em right away they are crispy.

I smoke mine first then put them in the fryer for about a minute to crisp up the out side then put in sauce. You get the best of both worlds with the taste of the rub and the slight crisp of the fryer.

Being a Buffalo native I love mine fried extra crispy then coated with a mix of Franks and butter. Or fried crispy, coated with BBQ sauce and then tossed back on the grill for some char.

I have made them on the smoker too and they were good, but nothing beats fried IMO.
