So I tried another rendition of wings on a pellet grill the other day and I think I finally found a way to cook them that I like. In the past I'd slow smoke them, sauce them at the end, maybe put them back on the grill, don't remember. It was always so-so. As the pressure was on feeing @ARD and @NWIP (and Lisa) I did some research and YouTube and saw a different trend. Several videos showed marinating the wings for a few hours prior in a zip lock and then essentially cook them at higher heat.
I tried three different marinades; Caribbean Jerk chicken marinade, a mild wings sauce, and buffalo wings sauce. I let them marinade 2-3 hours and then put them on the smoker. The plan was to do 275 for an hour then up the heat to add some crispiness. As I was running behind I initially cooked at 300, then turned up the heat. I was also out of room so had to use my shelf rack to put two layers in the smaller Davey Crockett GMG pellet grill. In the end, I was very pleased how they turned out and the shelf didn't cause an issue. What I also learned is I don't like smaller drumettes but instead just "chicken wings" that are meaty. No additional saucing was done, just marinade, cook, eat.
Very pleased and will do this method again next time.
