Mother wanted wings, a pack of wings and the Ninja power cord appeared on the counter. I ironically just watched another CJ video on grilled vs. smoked wings so I tweaked my cook a little this time around.
I used air crisp at 400 for 20 minutes (cook stopped at internal temp at 16 mins). I lightly seasoned one side with a Green Mountain Grill's poultry seasoning and lightly sprayed the Duck fat cooking oil CJ always uses on one side as well. As I had too many wings to fit on the grill plate I used the new cooking racks I bought which worked nicely, didn't need to flip half way through, they were cooking evenly. I used Hickory Kona pellets. Per CJ I cooked until internal temp was hotter, around 185 instead of 165. I let them rest a few and they were delicious. Still very moist, you'd never know it was 185 internal. The only gripe I had, to self, was I wish they were crispier so maybe cooking on the grill plate next time will solve that. Mother didn't talk while consuming wings so obviously she liked them. I should cook them more often.
