[@nicholascoury6138]

I just tried this and it was super simple and really good. I’ve never cooked wings this high, but it worked well and gave a nice crisp skin. Did not coat them, we ate them rub only and they were a hit.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Glad you liked it!!

[@McHugh31935]

Thank you for simple and concise videos. I'm a big fan.

[@USCELCID]

This is officially now my go to method. Every other method I’ve tried for pellet leaves them a little on the rubbery side. I leave some with just a rub and other with a couple of different bbq sauces (mustard and tomato). Big hit every time! Thanks!

[@DJCarterInCanberra]

Thanks Darren for an easy introduction to my first ever attempt at smoking meats. I was a complete beginner smoker when I first watched this video. This is now how I cook wings. Greetings from Australia!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Thank you

[@jackwebb5917]

I’m SO glad someone else is talking about taking wings to a higher temperature! I always take mine to 190-200 and they’re crispy but yet SO tender and juicy. I think a lot of people get stuck on the “165” line and forget that wings can render so much more fat and connective tissue and STILL be juicy but unlock SO much more flavor! Same with thighs and drumsticks

Beautiful! I grabbed a giant bag of wings to do on the pellet smoker tomorrow, New Year’s Eve/afternoon. I wasn’t quite sure what to do, and your video was the first to pop up in my search. Fantastic! Now I know exactly what to do, and I thank you, good sir! Happy new year!

[@dablazarus7303]

How'd they come out? I'm thinking of trying this method.

[@bearvonsteuben9675]

@@dablazarus7303 They were good, but didn’t achieve the crispness I was after. So, I stuck them in an air fryer for a few minutes. They lost nothing, but crisped up fine. Cheating, maybe, but the weather was lousy, and I was done for the day. 😎

[@MusicWizard85]

I use a smaller wood chip smoker. I set it to 275F but the temp tends to fluctuate between 250 - 275 so it's not a constant 275. I add wood chips (cherry & hickory or cherry & apple) at the start and again 1 hour later. Total smoke/cook time is about 2hrs & 15 minutes give or take 5min. They come out great! Pro tip: pre brining your wings then patting dry before you add your dry rubs/marinades makes them taste even better.

[@r.b.somers2052]

Just got my first pellet smoker and this looks like a useful channel! Thanks!

[@andrewmallory3654]

I just got my very first smoker today! I’ve only ever grilled / smoked anything on my Webber kettle so when I tried out your guide on my brand new PitBoss 820 SP, I was mind blown by how easy and relatively hands free the whole process was. I don’t even smell like smoke!!! Anyway, this was an amazing guide and my wings came out incredible . Very first cook on the new pellet smoker was an absolute success thanks to you man!❤️

Heck yeah!

[@staciecarverd8136]

Looks fantastic. I like my wings saucy, so I'd probably do one more round of sauce after the last stint on the grill, but I'm sure they're quite tasty just as they were. Now don't forget, you have to have some blue cheese for those wings -- NO ranch dressing! As we say here in Buffalo, ranch is the devil's dip. Though no dip for really good wings is completely fine, sometimes you don't want to mess with perfection., but still, NO RANCH!

[@joshualynch5512]

I semi taught myself the way of smoking food. Always had an issue when cooking wings however this time and temperature changed the whole ball game for me!

Love the videos. I believe you have done videos on a number of make/models of grills. Seems you are always using a Traeger these days, much be your preferred grill.

[@jameswalsh1634]

Thanks for this video! Made bbc and garlic parmasan wings, came out perfect. Although i may use different pellets next time. Not sure how i feel about hickory and chicken

[@Marian-gq3zw]

I use a Z pellet grill; 350° dry off wing moisture with a paper towel. Mix 2 teaspoons of no added aluminium baking powder with 3 tablespoons of Rib Rack BBQ rub. Add the rub and baking powder to a large plastic bag. Add the wings, shake to coat. Grill 15 minutes, turn and grill another15 mins. Turn on last time and grill 10 minutes. My husband cannot get enough of these crispy wings!

[@RossMalagarie]
