Wings

[Lt.Dan]

And probably a thousand times better quality than Oscar Mayer too. Can't wait to try some!!


You and I are in absolute 100% agreement. No meat should be boiled.

Hot Wings need to be baked or deep fried to a crisp.

Deep fried. Only deep fried. But the story behind the most famous wings - Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY inventor and home of the original chicken wings (I've eaten there), anyway, rumor has it they are first baked then finished in the fryer.

I actually have made the seasoning to almost exactly as they do. I think mine has one more ingredient than their recipe.

I had to delete many posts and leave many subs I was in once I was found out! But I suppose there's a life lesson to be learned: Never use the same name for every website.

Nope, he is following me on TNDEER. I guess to see if I say anything about him. I feel special. I have a follower

You are now a bonafide influencer! All you need now is a sex scandal

That suggestions post is long behind me, anybody who really still cares about that is just a salty Samuel I have no interest in befriending. I took my licks, but I ain't swallowing spit.

I just thought it was interesting to meet you on reddit, and I thought we could hang sometime. But I'm starting to think you don't like me!

I need to clear that with the wife first

I don't know you. Like has nothing to do with it at this point. Treat me as you would like to be treated by me is a good starting point.

Lt. Dan! You have new legs!!!

Be brave brother-be brave. Apple stock is the answer! :D

The longer I'm here... this place.... yeahhhhh. I'm beginning to understand why I live, way off in the woods!

JUST to keep this on point: @UCStandSitter , thanks for that link, I'm gonna start working on "Yeti Smoked Wings" tomorrow! I have done them, many ways, but that recipe got me thinking.....

Results will be in Cooking forum, I reckon.

They'll change your life bro. I tweak mine a lil from what Malcolm does here but highly recommend that overnight bath for em. You could about rub dirt on em and smoke em after that and they'd still be good.

I remember the days of 10 cent wings.

Wings in the grocery store have gotten too expensive for my comfort, so I switched to using chicken legs... I fix them just like I would a batch of wings. Lightly floured and into the Fry Daddy until GB&D, then tossed with a knock-off Hooters 3 Mile Island sauce I've devised. Yum.

 

[UCStandSitter]

I've done quarters following the recipe (loosely) that I posted here. Insane. Since that recipe doesn't require any dip (IMHO), it's perfect.

 

[TnYeti]

@UCStandSitter , thanks so much dude! Made marinade per your recipe (although way scaled down-maybe, 1.5cups of liquid with some rub seasoning in it, and slightly adjusted to my preferred flavors). They swam for ~4hrs. Dusted with my rub of choice and went, 270 for 1 hour, flipped and 1hr for 280. :

Tried a flat and drum, DELICIOUS! But too sweet for me, so I whipped up a basic Buffalo sauce (Franks hot sauce, butter, Worcestershire, and cayenne and smoked paprika), gave them a quick dip. :

Put some tater salad and baked beans on side with a couple squirts of BBQ sauce.... Oh my! :D Weekend is starting right!

Do NOT be a stupid Yeti, and snob on your "sissy" pellet smoker-my eyes are open right about now for small batches and small gatherings. I am a moron. Quick and so easy.

ETA: Do put some parchment down, didn't think they'd dribble after rubbing them... another mistake.

I'm so sorry dude!, I seldom treat myself to stuff like this if alone. I'll get you that pizza if you give me enough heads up brother!

 

[Atchman2]

I tried doctoring them up, but it didn't work. They are horrible.

That's a good idea. I always just put Frank's hot sauce on every piece of chicken that isn't done as a wing. And yes, I put that s*** on everything

I've got to say those do look good. I would eat them.

Hey!
In my defense I was short on time and desperately needed some wings.

Now I feel shame every time I look at my smoker.

@chris1976 and @UCStandSitter (Sorry I missed naming you before Chris, y'alls recipes were very similar). Tomorrow, doing 5 lbs more, 1/2 like posted above, but adjusted marinade more to my preferences, they are swimming now for tomorrow; and the other half, my friend suggested honey, lemon pepper. So giving that a try. Results tomorrow!

ETA: Also doing another batch of Cowboy candy-as everyone now wants the smoked cream cheese! :D

You can do a lot with the smoked cream cheese. I swap out what seasoning I use based on what it's going with. Ranch powder, AP seasoning, BBQ seasoning, steak seasoning. Heck might could even do like lime flavoring or something. Who knows

 

[Wooden Arrow]

stop it.

no joke, he's killing me !

no shrimp ? no crabs ? the HORRORS...:eek:

 

[TnYeti]

Okay, just to follow it up (both, obviously after saucing):

The original stuff with adjusted marinade and longer soak overnight (~15hrs)....

And the Honey, Lemon Pepper experiment for my friend:

She wanted "gooey/sticky" wings, but I did convince her to let me hit it with smoked paprika and more black pepper. Yes, she likes flats... :D I threw a few drums on to sample for me as I had to break stuff down and barely got just thawed stuff back into freezer, for next time. She brought 6lbs, NOT the 2.5 she told me... :p

A couple brief thoughts to keep this readable: Hers came out better-I am pretty positive I could take the gooey stuff I dunked those in and Asian/spice it up like a madman-just saying.

Mine were kinda "wrong" via the skin. It didn't crisp as much as first batch but I guess it coulda been the chicken (but it was very fresh) or the adjusted marinade ratios or extended soak time for marinade. I'm a bit confused here, not my first rodeo. Might shoulda let them go longer with a double batch in smoker-otherwise I'm a bit confused, but I'll play with marinade ratios, times again on next batch. And yeah, she dropped more cream cheese and I handed her a jar of fresh cowboy candy-hoping she figures it out before my friends completely clog my arteries!

Those look excellent! The skin is the key. The key to the skin is "baking powder".

Yeti is in fact MADE OF SMOKED CREAM CHEESE! It is just a little known fact.
