Wings

[Jason Bagby]

While I have tried cooking wings MANY ways... I tried them this way last night and by far the best yet. Anyone else ever tried this method?
Basically steam, then cool, rest and drain. Then bake. Crispy skin while the meat stays moist.

May give it a try. I prefer a turkey fryer then toss in a sauce or dust with a dry rub (lil cayenne pepper)

Try Nikkos YouTube channel. He has alot of good videos on it. Really good

This is the best method out there for oven-baked wings. I've recently substituted the cool-air dry phase for about a 2-hour smoke in the barrel grill. It dries them out, but gives a better depth of flavor. But the steaming really helps a lot.

Yep. Love it. The steaming leads to some good crispy skin without excess fat clinging to the wings. Helps the sauce adhere, too.

TAFKAP, if I had a sole smoke box and not direct heat, that would be a great option and does sound good.
Trapper, I pulled them after 20 minutes on each side then sauced and back in for 10 minutes. This softened the skin because of the sauce. Next time I will leave them for 30 minutes each side then pull, sauce and serve without putting them back in.
None the less, this is by far the best way I have tried them and healthier as well.

Will give this a shot.

Just saw it was by Alton Brown. Gonna have to say that guy has an awful lot of good recipes.
