[@MrLancelopes]

im going to make these today i cant wait.. That ninja woodfire grill has to be one of the coolest things i own... Ive tried a few of your recipes and they all turn out perfect... keep them coming!

[@thisguy2329]

Thank so much for continuing to put out these videos! was pretty lost when it came to cooking on my Ninjawoodfire, but your videos helped me figure it out. I love that you test out various recipes on it. Those wings look great. Keep it up!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey thank you!

[@jonohan491]

Thank you for all your recipes on this grill. Because of you, I went out and purchased one. My first attempt was these wings. The process was exactly as you demonstrated. Through experience, I never use the BBQ rubs. I find less is more and usually go with simple salt and pepper. The way I made these: I used a little over 3 lbs of drummets and wings. They were already thawed. About 21-24 pieces I used a mixture of baking POWDER and cornstarch as a coating. (1tsp of each for every pound of meat) I mixed four teaspoons of each in a separate bowl. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Pat wings dry and place in a bowl. Make sure the skin on the wings is covering the meat and not pulled back. Add the flour mixture and mix the wings by hand to coat. Place an air fry basket in the smoker. Add Pecan pellets to the hopper. Select the air crisp mode. Press the wood fire button. Set temp to 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Let the grill go through the ignition and preheat process. (about 5-7 minutes) Place wings skin side up in the basket. Close the lid and smoke/air fry for 10 minutes-open the lid. Flip and cook for another 10 minutes-open the lid. Flip and cook for 5 minutes. They were awesome by themselves. Otherwise, coat in your favorite sauce. *one of the advantages of not using a rub is the fact that they will not darken as much during the air fry process. (usually because of the sugar in the rub)

[@keithsmith3118]

Looks great. If you want to add a bit of crispiness, besides making sure that you pat the wings extra dry, add some baking powder to the mix and toss. It works best tossed naked, but still works when tossed altogether.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Right on! Thanks!

[@lew_riddle957]

just tried this tip and got some really strange looks from my neighbours. not sure why being naked makes a difference but it did

[@hanwachtel]

Hi CJ. Having recently treated myself (Father's Day gift to myself) to a Ninja Woodfire Grill, I've now used it a couple of times, but still getting the hang of it. Interestingly, the Quick Start Guide, which covers most eventualities, doesn't explicitly describe how to utilise the Crisper Basket, so having seen the short video here, I am now quite ready to give hot wings a whirl. I like how you present the WFG and as such, am now a subscriber and ready to experiment further. Thanks for the insight and rock on!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!! Appreciate it!

[@karenjohnson8415]

I followed this recipe, but after the wings were done, I slathered on a bit of sauce and let them grill for a few minutes. Excellent!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Awesome!

[@beachfoxlife]

Made some a few days ago on my Ninja Woodfire Grill. Was the best wings ever. Smoked with oak pellets, air crisp 390 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Yum!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Awesome!

[@user-cruton]

I just got my grill. Its all set up but i haven't cooked on it yet. Any tips? Im just doing burgers and dogs but would like to do seafood and steaks

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

I do smoked wings at the same temp and time. They come out perfectly but I do them on the grill pan, not the air crisper basket. We love them. So good.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yeah I think I might just use the grill grate next time.

[@MrSupergoose73]

Just got my new Ninja 8 in 1 yesterday. I AM SO EXCITED TO DO THIS WING RECIPE. I don't care that you think they need to be crispier. I want mine to turn out EXACTLY the way yours did bro. ~S~ Salutes man!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Cheers brother! Thanks!

[@pjwero]

thanks for adding Celcius! very much appreciated

[@CookingWithCJ]

No problem! Thanks!

Hey there!

[@brunoloiselle2710]

WINGS! Never go wrong with chicken wings, no matter how you cook them. NICE.

[@CookingWithCJ]

TRUTH!!

[@2Wheels_NYC]

They look great! I was going to say about the salt brine right about 30 seconds before you did! It really does help crisp them up. Excellent as always CJ!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Definitely! Thanks brother!

[@VK-zt6sw]

This is awesome - thank you!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!!

An amazing machine turned out some amazing wings. Oh, can't forget the chef! CJ 😎👍

Cheers! thanks!

[@dimplessamuels960]

Saw you on smokin grillin now I’m an addicted fan!!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Hey right on! Thanks much!

[@ronaldroberts4058]

Try corn starch and baking soda with no spice. They will crisp up nice. Then toss them in a light sauce before serving.

[@CookingWithCJ]

I'll give a go next time.

[@curtbernard755]

Yes please do

[@bruscodon6394]

Baking powder not baking soda

[@ronaldroberts4058]

@@bruscodon6394 Both will work but baking soda works best for crispy wings

[@speakingcolors]

​@@ronaldroberts4058 The taste must be weird asf with baking soda tho. I would use flour or corn flour instead without using panko. Still crispy but no need to hide any flavour.

[@jimmyjimmyeegalok]

For crispy wings, the wings need to be as dry as possible. Use baking powder (else you can use baking soda), and skip the oil. Also, put the wings exposed in the fridge for a hour so that the wing can resorb any liquid that will be drawn out when the rub/seasoning is added.

[@CookingWithCJ]

thanks for the tip

[@gharv1313]

Perfect for the game CJ! Looks fantastic have to try out your method. Cheers brother 🍻

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks brother!

[@billchief397]

Yes woodfire grill was best purchase I made. Try baking cornbread...it's amazing

[@CookingWithCJ]

Will do. thanks

[@jamesharper5642]

I got my wood fire grill earlier today. What better to use for my first cook except these wings!!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Definitely!

[@loopev]

Another great video CJ, so glad it wasn't the oven. Love the Woodfire Grill, don't need an oven. Gonna have to try wings again, they are always chewy, not crispy, maybe just salt & pepper, like you said, and a loonnger cook! Thanks

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!!

[@jacquelinemassinello3451]

Love wings !!! Looks delish !!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

[@jeremyfillenworth9307]

Try a beef roast on smoker, and then use it for air fried chimmis!! They were fabulous!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

Another great idea.

[@papadave6800]

This may seem like a dumb question, CJ, but after 10 minutes, when you turn the chicken wings at the halfway point, is there a way to pause the timer, while you are turning the wings, so that you get the full 20 minutes of closed lid cooking time?

[@kirstie7187]

Hell yes yes yes teleport them to me right now great video thanks scrummdiddlyumptious 🎉😋

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!!

[@FritzFrank]

They look good to me, they don't have to be perfect to be good. 😋🤤🍻

[@CookingWithCJ]

Very true! Thanks brother

[@lukepriestley8062]

Purchased your ebook based on this video CJ, That introduction is perfect! I was dubious because of the rubs you use probably not being available in the UK but bought it on the basis of 'f*** it, I'll use my own rubs, so long as CJ shows how to use it..." so yeah... thanks!!

[@CookingWithCJ]

LOL! Yeah, pretty much any BBQ rubs you can get ahold of will work on the recipes. I know you guys are getting more and more out there. Keep trying new rubs, it's a fun part of the process.

[@lukepriestley8062]

@@CookingWithCJ we're getting there! I really wish i'd have bought a load of DJ BBQs rubs when they went on sale, i'll regret that forever. Thanks for all the videos, you really do smash it... top editing too!

[@donnaparisi3535]

Can you use this recipe in the Ninja Woodfire "Oven"? Do I have to adjust to make any adjustments to the oven settings because I am using the oven instead of the grill? I've been looking at your great recipes for the grill and have been wondering about the difference in settings since I have the oven not the grill.

[@patriciabrown2773]

Hello CJ going to look so delicious 😋🤤 you always do a good job on everything you cook 😜 so that being said have a wonderful and a beautiful in a God blessed day ♥️🤗👍😀

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you!!

[@tomm9493]

Looks de lish. Do you think maybe the duck fat kept it from crisping up more? 🤔🐓

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thanks! I think I over sprayed it a bit. Usually it helps with the crisping.

[@proofhouse]

I got crispy wings in my NWG regular but when I switched to a NWG XL it didn't work. Don't know why. Will try baking soda next time.

[@melodyosborne7699]

I see wings in my future😊.

I thought I saw a USC banner there CJ... Once a Trojan, always a Trojan. Robert 1966

I could never get my wings crispy in just the air fryer. Airfry + smoke worked.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Awesome!

[@richardberentson8832]

Great information I'll be over I'll bring the beer And help you with the WINGS

[@CookingWithCJ]

Lol! Love it

[@simonrbrown1]

Loving your videos, CJ! You inspired me to get a Ninja Wood Fire and I’m now cooking up a storm, thanks to you. I’m trying to buy your ebook bundle deal via your websiteand it won’t work? I’ve tried on both my Apple iPad and Google Pixel (I’m in the U.K).

[@CookingWithCJ]

Thank you! Really appreciate it. As far as the cookbooks go, I have no idea, I have people from the UK buy them all of the time on my site. Email me [e-mail] and I'll see what I can do.

[@JohannVF]

Do you let the wings come to room temp, or do you cook them straight out of the fridge?

[@CookingWithCJ]

I give them some time to sweat in the seasoning, but I don’t stress how long they’re out of the fridge to get on the cooker.

[@treliseadams2750]

Can I do this same thing with just the air fryer basket that comes with it?

[@CookingWithCJ]

yep!

[@12percentt]

I did not see the link to your barbecue rub or the thermometer. Thanks.

[@CookingWithCJ]

It's in the video description under the video.

[@jsnvolk]

I really want to buy the Ninja Smoker Grill. So this definitely will smoke and airfry at the same time?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Yes, absolutely

[@Stephenphillips29UK]

Appreciate the c temperatures ❤

[@CookingWithCJ]

No problem!

[@CS-rx3hb]

Teaspoon of baking powder to make then more crispy!

[@CookingWithCJ]

I'll give it a try next time, thanks!

[@lynnebattaglia-triggs1042]

What if your wings are frozen? Must you defrost them?

[@CookingWithCJ]

You can cook from frozen. They might take a bit longer, but it can be done.

[@830jkl]

Maybe higher temperature or longer cook would help.

[@CookingWithCJ]

Probably

[@xcanuck4]

CJ, how much of the pellets did you use for a 20 min cook ?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Just filled the hopper. There was some left over when the wings were done.

[@jlmcgrot]

Have you tried the directions in the manual? It says 390 degrees for 40-50 minutes. That seems like overkill.

[@CookingWithCJ]

I throw their manuals out. They’re trash. That’s why I write the ecookbooks for it.

[@dawnhutchens9821]

Always drool worthy videos! Try baking powder for crispy chicken skin.

[@CookingWithCJ]

thank you!

[@fusemunk]

Less wings will get them crispy.

[@dana3520]

Just got the woodfire at Walmart for $179

[@CookingWithCJ]

Heck of a deal!

[@830jkl]

Wow, that’s great. Did it fall out of the back door of the store or something?

[@freddygonzalez3153]

CJ when are you doing another wings video?

[@CookingWithCJ]

Don’t really have a plan for it. Probably soon since we’re coming up on Super Bowl time.

[@davemanley8700]

I just finished devowering them but I had to fight my wife for them. I just wish the grill was a little bit bigger and next time not so much smoke otherwise they were a 10

[@jericochandler3142]

the smoker won't ignite on air fry
