Sunday is Game Time

That's right, seeing as it is football season and all, there seemed to be only one logical thing to cook today on the grill. Chicken wings. After a quick run to the grocery store, I picked up a package of chicken wings and some sauce. Typically in the past I have broken out the good old fry dad and done the wings up that way, but seeing as this blog is all about me and the grill there seem to be only one way to cook them.

Firing up the Weber in the past when doing chicken I would usually do a indirect cooking method. Yet in typical fashion I was completely unprepared. My charcoal supply was close to being completely exhausted. Although the lack of charcoal would put a dampener on most people's grilling experience, that wouldn't stop me.

Once I had my grill going it was chicken time. I coated the wings with some olive oil that is infused with garlic. Then I did a light dusting of my super secret Tri-Tip rub, ok it's not really a secret; just kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder in equal thirds. I typically use it on almost everything.

Once I finally had some decent looking wings on my grill I decided it was time to sauce these bad boys.  For my first half of the wings I used a traditional buffalo style sauce made with franks hot sauce and butter. After a good liberal coating of buffalo sauce, I tossed the wings on to the direct fire side of the grill. On to the second set of wings. For these I went with Kikkoman's orange sauce. After a good slathering of sauce these also went on the direct fire side.


Now since my fire at this point was on the brink of dying, I left the wings on for about five minutes. This decision worked out perfectly as the sauce was able to get a nice glaze over the wings.  After all was said and done, this is now my new favorite way to cook chicken wings. Next time I'll definitely make sure to have enough Kingsford standing by in the garage.
