How To BBQ Perfect Chicken Wings With A Weber Summit Kamado

[@enyceofnyc]

Great video. Do you have any tips/methods to get bite through skin on the Summit without a vortex?

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

The key is to keep the WSK at a high temperature which can be done without a vortex or any accessory. Keeping the intake and exhaust open wider will allow you to reach temps of 350 and up. If you can consistently keep the temps up, the skin will be bite through.

I would want to have a taste of those awesome grilled to perfection chicken wings!

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Hopefully that will happen someday LaLa!

Has anyone watching this successfully found a vortex that's short enough so the grate doesn't rest on the opening? I'm on the verge of returning 1 like this (that rests on it just a tiny bit like I see at the 2:22 of this video) and finding a tool to shorten my old 1 from the kettle.

What about dry brining with rub overnight, versus no seasoning? That's how I usually do other chicken pieces and it works great. Thanks. Great video.

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Absolutely! I've done it that way too! Both approaches are winners.

Haven't even watched the vid yet. But man, that USC gear is really tough to look at. I'm nauseated already. Go Irish! Lol

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

Mission accomplished! Seriously though, don’t hold it against me lol.

[@MrPanthers23]

@@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ in all seriousness, maybe I didn't hear it, but can u go over why you don't season till the end? I've never tried that.

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

After the cook, I tossed the wings in melted butter. I think the rub better adheres to the wings after the butter toss than if I had seasoned them before.

Is it fine to follow these steps even if bought pre marinated wings from the store or do you suggest another method since they won’t be dry? Do I still need olive oil as well since there marinated ?

[@BackyardSmokeMasterBBQ]

If you want a less chewy skin, I would let the wings sit in the fridge for at least a few hours. You don’t need to put olive oil on the wings but it wouldn’t hurt to pour a little oil into a paper towel and run it over the grill grate to help keep the wings from sticking. If the your coals are already lit, use tongs to run the paper towel over the grate. Let me know how it turns out!
