Black Pepper Wings

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

I really love ‘dry’ chicken wings. By dry I mean not pre-sauced. Not ewwwy dry. Good dry. And they don’t have to be complicated either. Like these black pepper wings. Salt. Pepper. Wings. Well, ok, I did have a dipping sauce, but it’s the fantastic out-of-the-bottle Stubb’s Black Pepper Anytime sauce, which is also great as a marinade. The combination of generous amounts of pepper on the wings and pepper in the sauce made for a mighty fine peppery wing extravaganza!

Black Pepper Wings

You don’t want to be shy with the black pepper on these black pepper wings. You want that pepper kick, and even a bit of pepper heat, to come through in every bite.

Stubb’s also makes a wicked habanero sauce that is fantastic on wings.

These little sauce dipping cups are great for serving dipping sauces, if I use them. They’re easy to clean up, too. And they’re also great for dipping nuggets, tenders or even for serving salad dressing.

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 The rack is no longer available, but has been replaced by the bunk bed basket.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.

Gold Fever Chicken Wings

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

Mustard. Chicken wings. I had no idea. Sure, I like mustard. On sandwiches, or hot dogs. Or burgers. But, wings? My beloved chicken wings? Yes. Oh yes. Gold Fever chicken wings have quickly rocketed to the top of the ‘wings we want’ list around here. My wife absolutely loves them. Don’t worry about them being overly mustardy, either. There’s plenty of traditional Buffalo wing flavor too. And, for a nice kick I first marinated the wings in a little oil with a heavy dose of our Fire-Eater rub.

Gold Fever Chicken Wings

I just made a big batch of Gold Fever wings a few days ago. I’m making another tomorrow. That’s how good they are. Finger-licking good. Mustard. Chicken wings. Fantastic.

I store my homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out thirty minutes to an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot food!

Crispy Chipotle Wings

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

Chicken wings are my favorite dish, and I sure have made them a lot of different ways with lots of different sauces. From homemade, to bottled, I can’t get enough wings. I’ll make them at home, and I’ll eat them at restaurants or bars. It’s hard to pick a favorite… until now. These crispy chipotle wings are my all-time favorites. A little heat, a little smokiness, and a little sweet. Everything you could want in a wing, and crunchy to boot. Grab some paper towels and scoot up to the table and get busy!

Crispy Chipotle Wings

I made these crispy chipotle wings on my Char-Broil Big Easy. Used to be, I couldn’t get super-crispy wings in the Big Easy without finishing them on a grill. Not any more. My crispy wing technique gets it done and done good on the Big Easy or in the oven. Give it a shot. It’s as good as deep-fried but without the oil.

Indy Chicken Wings

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

Steven Raichlen turns out some mighty great food. I love the tv shows he does- he got me interested in grilling and smoking. And I love the many books he has written. One of the biggest, thickest recipe books you can find is Steven’s BBQ USA. It is absolutely chock full of great foods and stories, like these Indy chicken wings. And since I live in Indy, I had to make them. Well that and because they sounded (and are) fantastic.

Indy Chicken Wings

We really enjoyed these Indy chicken wings. The seasoning has a nice garlicky celery flavor. I used our Italian vinaigrette for basting. It has great Italian herb flavor, with a hint of citrus. Note that the vinaigrette does contain oil, so it can cause flair-ups when cooking the wings on the grill.

Get yourself a good long basting brush for basting these wings while they cook. You won’t have to worry about burning yourself.

  • Place wings in a large resealable bag or container.
  • Add oil. Seal and toss to coat.
  • Combine the garlic salt, celery seed or celery salt and pepper. Add to container, seal, and toss to coat.
  • Place wings in fridge for at least 2 hours, to overnight.
  • Cook wings as desired. Click here for our guide on cooking wings in a grill, smoker, deep fryer, oven, or a Char-Broil Big Easy. After 15 minutes of cooking begin basting the wings with the Italian vinaigrette. Continue basting every 10 minutes until the wings are done.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

NOTE: The vinaigrette contains oil, which can cause flair-ups on a grill. Be careful when basting and do not over-baste the wings. If a flair-up does occur move the wings to another part of the grill until the flames die down.

Smoky Chipotle Dry Wings

The smoky heat of chipotle peppers is absolutely fantastic on chicken wings. Instead of tossing my wings in a sauce I served them up ‘dry’, just coated in a delicious spicy rub where chipotle was the star, but there’s also hints of onion and garlic. Smoky chipotle dry wings will change your mind about always eating ‘wet’ wings.

Smoky Chipotle Dry Wings

I served these smoky chipotle dry wings with just a bit of Ranch dressing, but these wings are just perfect by themselves without a dipping sauce.

I recommend making extra of the seasoning. Store it in an air-tight container in your pantry. It’ll keep for a bit. That way you’re always ready to make some delicious flavor-packed wings!

Cajun Bay Chicken Wings

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

A few weeks ago I made a beer-can chicken recipe that used a 50/50 combination of Cajun seasoning and Old Bay seasoning. I instantly fell in love with the combination. A little heat, a little sweet, cloves, allspice, paprika… just about all you could imagine. I knew right then and there that I wanted to use the same mix on chicken wings. And so my Cajun Bay chicken wings were born. And oh how good they were. I served them dry, not sauced. Just that great combination of Cajun and Old Bay seasonings, with a little Ranch dressing on the side for dipping. The flavor combination was fantastic, and one you will see here again soon.

Cajun Bay Chicken Wings

Once the wings are cooked, you can dust them with more of the Cajun and Old Bay mix if you want even more pronounced flavors. I skipped it since my wife isn’t quite the fan of Old Bay as I am. She doesn’t like cloves or allspice so much. That’s one nice thing about this mix. You still get those flavors, but they are toned down a bit because of the addition of the Cajun seasoning.

Texas Sriracha Wings

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

Stubb’s recently came out with a line of marinades and what they call anytime sauces. Our local grocery store had them all on sale, so I grabbed two or three bottles of each and headed on home with thoughts of the many things I was going to use them in. First up? Wings, of course, so I grabbed a bottle of Stubb’s Texas Sriracha anytime sauce and went to work.

Texas Sriracha Wings

I cooked up a batch of wings (that I had first dusted with my Fire-Eater rub) on my charcoal grill using the Vortex insert. I then tossed the wings with a generous pour of Texas Sriracha sauce and proceeded to absolutely devour them. My goodness me oh my, Stubb’s Texas Sriracha sauce is goooood! It’s like the Rooster sauce (er, Sriracha) we all love, but with fantastic southwestern spices and flavors thrown in. I could drink it straight out of the bottle.
The heat from the sauce isn’t overpowering. Great flavor and a bit of a kick. It’s what I’d call the perfect bottled sauce, and absolutely the best thing for wings (or grilled chicken, or steak for that matter). It makes for the perfect (kicked up) substitute for the ‘normal’ Sriracha sauce you already use.

The Presto Fry Daddy is perfect for making smaller batches of food. It only uses a few cups of oil and comes to temperature quickly. Clean-up is easy too!

Mambo Chicken Wings

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

It’s amazing how many great chicken wing recipes there are. Everything from the mild to the sweet to the volcanic hot. That’s why I love them, I can have a different flavor every day. Well, almost every day. I don’t actually eat wings every day, although I’m sure I could and never ever get bored with them.

Mambo Chicken Wings

I recently stumbled upon Mambo sauce (among many other great recipes) on a blog by Levy Restaurants, a family of different restaurants around the US. Of course, I thought “Now, here’s something different. A tomato-based wing sauce with Asian flavors. I gotta try it!” So I did, and boy, was I happy I that did.

Mambo sauce, like many great wing sauces, is a combination of sweet (a little pineapple and sugar) and acid (white vinegar and hot sauce), and the best part, a bit of heat (thank you Frank’s RedHot!). You’ll start out thinking you’re having a teriyaki-inspired wing, and finish up thinking you had a Buffalo wing. It’s great, like a journey of flavors.

According to the Levy Restaurant’s blog, Mambo sauce is also great on fries. That seems like a great idea. So does using it as a steak marinade.

I store my homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out thirty minutes to an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot food!

Creamy Buffalo Wings

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

Oh man, what great wings these creamy Buffalo wings were. They disappeared in no time at all. They’re a simple take on the traditional Buffalo wing, with the same great spicy heat, but with a creamier sauce. Flat-out delicious and definitely finger-licking fantastic.

Creamy Buffalo Wings

I cooked the wings on my Vortex insert, which I use on my Weber Performer grill. The Vortex concentrates the heat from the charcoal into a circle, which you then surround with the wings. The chicken wings cook up super tasty and crisp in just over 30 minutes. I let them cool only slightly then tossed them with the creamy Buffalo wing sauce. And then I went to town on them. It was almost embarrassing, but you’ll understand once you try them.

I store my homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out thirty minutes to an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot food!
