Carolina Treet and Chicken Wings?

[West Coast Kansan]

Arnie, I use this when I grill wings, that way you don't have to keep flippin the damn things



Just flip the whole basket. Spray with Pam first.
I try to avoid Pam.  A little oil of your choice in a dish, crumple up a paper towel into it, remove it and coat the racks, grill, whatever.  Less expensive and I KNOW what oil I'm using.

Thanks CRG.  I have something like that for my grill when doing small stuff like shrimp or chipmunks.  I'm going to be doing 8 pounds of wings in the oven.  My son-in-law is bringing some Buffalo sauce from, yep, the Anchor Bar in Buffalo.

I think I'm going to marinate half the wings in CT, the other half plain.  I'll take some pics and see how things come out.  Stay tuned.

Chipmunks eh,,, OK not going to go there just now.  Chipmunks,,,

Thanks for the sauce recipe CRG.  I'll give that a try tomorrow.

I usually deep fry 'em naked or put a sprinkle of cayenne or chipotle prior to frying.  My fryer is pretty decent; holds a gallon of oil.  But, I have to get through 8 pounds worth of wings tomorrow so I'll probably use the oven.

But every thing is better with butter CRG. What would your good friend Paula think?

I don't but margarine.  Maybe that's the secret ingredient?  My wife uses "Smart Balance".  She says its good for cholesterol.  So, she puts about an ice cream scoop worth on her green beans.  I dunno ...

Myself when doing wings, just deep fry naked, then sauce using Franks Ret Hot cut with butter. The more butter, the less heat. I prefer the heat so really don't use a lot of butter.

I like Franks, and Louisiana Hot sauce has a hot wing sauce now. It's pretty good too.

Actually I have never met a wing I didn't like.

I have. Because of work I eat at restaurants a lot. It's hard to believe how many make terrible Buffalo wings.

[classicrockgriller]

Just put more sauce or ranch

[HawkeyeSmokes]

That won't work because their sauce and ranch dressings sucks to. 

[classicrockgriller]

Geez, that is bad eats.

Exactly how I do it, if I want them warmer I add some cayenne pepper to the sauce.

That's one of the reasons I do a lot of cooking at home.  The restaurant fare isn't always very good, though expensive.  At least I know what I'm cooking when doing it at home and it's usually pretty good.  Now, if I can get Honey to clean out the sink - that's one restaurant advantage, no cleanup.

Our going "out" has dropped to almost nothing since the Bradley. I enjoy smoking/cooking and rest of the family likes what I cook.

Most of the time someone help with dishes and I also try to wash as I go so it not a lot at the end.
