Cedar Plank Hot wings

In an effort to try something different I decided to grill some wings on cedar planks. Another significant change from my previous wing grilling experiences is that I removed the skin. Typically the skin does not grill very well and can make the chicken a little slimy.

In the middle is a French bread pack.

Wings were marinaded for a couple of hours in Moores Hot Sauce. The grilling process on the planks too longer than I anticipated. I cooked them for about thirty minutes turning them once. For the final few minutes I did remove them from the planks to dry out a little more. Once removed from the planks more hot sauce was added.

Hot Wings

My wife loves hot wings. I am learning more about the best way to grill them successfully.

1. Toss them in evol a couple of minute prior to cooking.

2. Light salt/pepper the wings when you toss them with oil.

3. Cook on high indirect heat until they are finished (depends on the size of the wings).

4. Cover with your choice of buffalo sauce or barbecue sauce for the final few minutes.

Grilled Buffalo wings

I love wings. I generally prefer boneless wings but bone-in wings are good too. The wings were marinaded in a store-bought hot sauce. I didn't really "learn" anything from cooking them and would do the same thing again. (In fact, I have another three pounds of wings in the freezer to be cooked soon.)

One fun fact, the term "Buffalo Wings" comes from their place of origin...Buffalo, NY. Apparently Buffalo residents just call them hot wings. Who knew?
