Well, fired up my Big Easy a few times over the weekend to try it out. All I can say is, WOW! I did wings and a whole chicken and they were both great. The Big Easy sure does deliver. Here are a few pics from my first two Big Easy tries. There will be many, many more to come.
My Big Easy Basket. I used the idea Mike (Mr. Walleye) had for making extra racks. I had an old set of used Bradley racks I used to make these. Gives me 5 levels. I was able to load 4.5 lbs of wings with no problem.

Wings ready for the Big Easy. Rubbed with a little olive oil, lemon juice and some Old Bay seasoning.

Wings all done and crispy. Ready for a sauce bath.

Wings after being tossed in my mixture of buffalo wing sauce and a touch of teriyaki.

Now on to the chicken. Bird was just over 4 lbs and took about 1 hour to cook.
Here she is rubbed down with garlic oil and a few shakes of a poultry rub.

After one hour, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Better then any pre-cooked chicken I have ever bought in the grocery store.
