Did my smoked wings last night, with a twist.

[73saint]

I know I may be a little late to the party, but I’ve been wanting to try flash frying my wings right after they have been smoked. I usually say I’m gonna do it, but we get our smoked wings pretty crispy bc I run my Lang hot.

Well last night I stayed committed to the operation. Even set up my propane burner right next to the smoker.


I got my fire super hot, with a large bed of pecan coals ready for some yard bird.

For father’s day, kosmos q had a wing dust special. I got a package of chili lime wing dust, and a package of garlic parm. I did my normal marinade of Tabasco, worshestichire & Italian dressing for a few hours, then I did half and half wing dust.


Followed my usual time and temp, 275 for 1.5 then I bumped the heat up for the next 30 mins. At 1:45 they were ready for some grease, so I heated up the hot oil to 350.

Things got a little cramped as our typical south la summer weather does, thunderstorms came Through.

Not to worry, it was a quick fry, virtually no mess, and well worth it. I made some home made buttermilk ranch for dipping and we had some mighty fine wings!

The kosmos wing dust was great, but I think any dry rub would have done fine. If you haven’t tried flash frying your post-smoked wings, ya gotta try.

I think these were the best wings I’ve ever had.

The wings look really good to me.

I'm very much a deep fried wings man.

I have done that before too, but I thought the frying took a lot of the smoke flavor away.
So I just sear them on a hot grill, or the best method for wings seems to be with a vortex.

You know Al, I was concerned about the same thing. I swear though, if anything, the smoke was more pronounced.

Well that is really cool, cause I really like deep fried wings & I guess I'll have to give it another try.
If you say it worked for you then it should work for me. I'll let you know when I give it a try again!
Thanks for the update!!

Al, best advice I can give, get the grease to at least 350, and don’t fry them more than 60 seconds...that’s all it took!
