]]> I thought it only fair to let my readers know that yesterday I got a huge package of “Buffalo Style” hot sauce from the McIlhenny Company.  More than enough to satisfy anyone’s wing cravings.  Along with the package was a very nice note from one of booth attendees.  It was a thoughtful and heartfelt note.  I also received a phone call and after a long discussion, with apologies all around, I feel it’s necessary to close out this chapter and move on.

In my book the McIlhenny Company, makers of Tabasco brand products, has done more than enough to make up for the hard feelings I had from visiting their booth at the Fancy Food Show.  They took ownership of the issue, explained their side, listened to my side and now it’s time to eat some wings.  Lots and lots of wings.

]]> First cook on the new Char-Broil RED Grill was 60 chicken wing drumettes for a review of some BBQ sauces.  The grill performed great.  I was amazed at how fast it got hot.  I even tackled some smoking during the first cook.

Used one of the Wild Cherry wood "pucks" from Appalachia Smokers. The 3 burner RED Grill is divided into two sections. One section with 2 burners and one section with 1 burner. I used the smaller side for lighting the wood.

The wood "puck" was burning too fast, with too much smoke in the trough so I moved it to the warming rack. What was great about the "puck" was that it continued to smolder and smoke after it was removed from the heat.

The wings were seasoned with Simply Marvelous Season All

They browned up nice and cooked to perfection.

]]> I love chicken wings.  They are small bite sized morsels of poultry goodness.  I’ve smoked wings lots of time and wanted to give something a little different.

I cranked up one of the Weber Smokey Mountain smokers with some avocado wood.  Avocado wood is a somewhat hard wood that goes great with chicken and pork.  It’s a mild wood that should be treated like you would a fruit wood.

The wings were seasoned with Simply Marvelous Season All and smoked at 225 degrees for about 2 hours.  Because it was a busy day I let the wings cool and put them into the refrigerator for eating at a later date.

After sitting in the refrigerator for a couple of days I took the wings out of the refrigerator and let them come up to room temperature.

After the wings warmed up a little I gave them a little milk dunk and a dust of flour.

After letting the flour set into the Masterbuilt Butterball Indoor Turkey Fryer they went for about 10 minutes.  They came out nice and crisp.

The wings got a coating of Sweet Baby Ray’s new “Original Dipping Sauce”  The sauce has a mild horseradish flavor and complimented the season all and avocado wood.
