Buffalo Wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Boy howdy, these Buffalo wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy came out great! 30 minutes marinating, 30 or so minutes cooking and it’s time to devour some traditional-flavored wings. I used the Big Easy Cooking Rack, which lets you cook on up to 6 different levels, enough room for a family pack (around 4 pounds) of wings. You can also use the standard Big Easy basket along with the bunk bed basket, but you won’t be able to cook as many wings at once. The rack is no longer available, but has been replaced by the bunk bed basket.

Buffalo Wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy

I did ‘finish’ the wings on a grill to get a little char and crisp, but doing so is completely optional. These Buffalo wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy are fantastic right off the cooker. If a little crunch is what you want do what I did and put them over high heat on a grill for a few minutes before serving.

To make this dish on the Char-Broil Big Easy I used a bunk bed basket. It lets me double or even triple the amount of cooking space I have.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the wings into a large resealable bag or container.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients.
  • Let cool slightly. Pour all but 1/4 cup of the marinade onto the chicken. Save the 1/4 cup for finishing the wings later.
  • Seal the chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Fire up your Big Easy.
  • Add chicken to the cook racks and lower into the cooker.
  • Cook for 30-45 minutes or until chicken is done. Note that depending on conditions, chicken at the top of the rack may cook quicker or later than those on the bottom. Don’t just check one piece for doneness.
  • NOTE: At this point, you can if you wish, transfer the chicken to a hot grill to get a nice char and a little crunch on the wings. It’s completely optional, though.
  • Remove chicken and place into a large bowl.
  • Add the reserved marinade and toss to coat.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

You’ll need the Char-Broil Big Easy Cooking Rack to be able to cook an entire 4 pounds of chicken at once.

Franks and Beans

Franks and beans were one of my favorites as a kid, though I called them hot dogs and not franks. I guess you could serve these as a side dish…. but, I wouldn’t. And some people call them beans and franks, but I think the hot dogs should get top billing!

Franks and Beans

Save The Hot Dogs!

I have two rules about this dish: first, you can’t have too many hot dogs, and second, save eating most of the hot dogs for last. Sad is the day when you get to the bottom of the bowl and all you have left are beans! I’ve been eating my franks and beans this way since I was a little kid. No way would I eat the hot dogs first.

Also make up a batch of my fire-eater campfire beans!
