Man, do I love slow-cooking chicken wings on the grill.

Spicy home made rub.

Off-set, with cherry and peach woods.

First set is glazed with Syberg's mustard bbq sauce (STL restaurant)

Second set is glazed with Sugarfire's Coffee/BBQ sauce (STL restaurant)

Gave them a final minute each side over the coals to add some char.

Pretty much a backyard staple for me, now.

Only thing I'd do different is brine them for a couple hours. But dangit, I was hungry.

 
Wings might be one of my favorite treats! Those look amazing! For some reason, I never do my own and have always gone to my favorite establishments to get them. I have brined a lot of pork, but never chicken. Is a few hour brine for chicken wings good enough? It seems since they are small you wouldn't brine them very long, but maybe I'm wrong? Looks great! I hope to do my own soon!

You can brine those wings for just a couple hours and you'll be able to tell a difference. In my experience, it helps w/ the color and plumpness.

But yeah, overdoing it too long could be a bad idea - probably too salty.
