Grilled Wicked Wings

Grilled Wicked Wings

Prep Time : 45 Minutes (Soak Time 30 Minutes)
Cook Time: 15-20 Minutes Per Batch
Yield : 2-3 lbs. Per Batch as determined by Grill Size

Ingredients:
Brine: 1 Gallon Cold Water
½ Cup Table Salt
1 Cup Sugar
Or Inject ¼ tsp. Cajun Injector Brine
Solution in each Wing Segment
Olive Oil
Cajun Shake Seasoned Salt or
Louisiana Wicked Wing Seasoning
Original Louisiana Wing Sauce

Preparation:
Separate Wings at joints and discard wing tips. Rise Wings in cold water and immerse in Prepared Brine. Stir occasionally. After 30 minutes, drain and blot dry with paper towels.

Brush wings lightly with Olive Oil and lightly sprinkle with seasoning. Grill over medium heat (350-400 F.) Grill for 3-5 minutes per side for 15-20 minutes until skin is crisp and brown, and juices run clear. As always with poultry, be careful not to undercook. The goal is to produce wings with a crispy skin, yet still be juicy inside. You can also experiment with a two layer fire.searing on high heat and moving to low/medium heat (some suggest wrapping the grating in foil prior to heating so Wings cook slower with reduced burning or scorching of the wings. Two methods are generally suggested. First, Tailgaters suggest searing then moving to medium heat to finish cooking; and a second group suggests low to medium heat to start, then crisping on high heat to finish wings. We suggest experimenting to determine how you prefer your sacred, wicked wings. On another part of the grill, melt butter solution and add Wicked Wing Sauce following directions on bottle. Remove wings from grill, toss in warm basting sauce and serve immediately with celery and carrot sticks, and your favorite ranch or blue cheese dip.
