INGREDIENTS


  •  20 Chicken Wings - Cut the tips and flats from drums will provde 40 wings   
  • 1/4 - 1/2 Cup Favorite BBQ Rub - Keep it pretty basic (All Q'ued up Rockin Rooster)   
  • 1 Cup Deep South Sauce Company Havanna Heat or Smoke & Fire   
  • Chives for garnish 


EQUIPMENT

  •    Kettle type grill works best
  •    Vortex Accessory
  •    B&B Oak Lump Charcoal
  •    Favorite Flavored B&B Wood Chunk
  •    Tongs
  •    Cutting Board
  •    Sharp Knife
  •    Pans for Raw and cooked
  •    Charcoal Chimney Starter, Lighter
  •    Insta Read Thermometer


INSTRUCTIONS


  1. Ensure grill is free from old ash and debris
  2. Open bottom vents all the way
  3. Fill Charcoal Chimney with charcoal and light - should take about 30 min to get hot
  4. While Charcoal is getting hot, Cut Chicken wings and apply rub to all sides
  5. Set wings aside to absorb rub. Place vortex in grill in the middle of the grill
  6. When charcoal is hot (top is mostly white ash) carefully pour charcoal into the vortex.
  7. Place the grate over the vortex. If you want to add a chunk of flavored wood, now is the time - right over the vortex.
  8. Place wings around the vortex, I like to place the larger side of the drums inside toward the vortex
  9. Place the lid on the grill, with the vent open.
  10. Keep track of where the vent is, because every 10 - 15 min you are going to rotate 45 degrees
  11. At the 30 minute mark, flip the wings
  12. In the last 10 to 15 minutes, temp the wings - they should be getting over 165
  13. Now is the time to brush on some sauce, flip and brush the other side
  14. Let is set and cook until the wings are in the 175 to 185 range. If they get to 200 they will still be great.
  15. Take the wings off, set aside, cover and let rest for a 10 minutes
