More Wings and Thighs on the Vortex

[millerbuilds]

I love the Vortex in the Kettle, such a quick way to fire up some dinner with excellent results.

Two different rubs, my go to bbq rub on the ones to be sauced and a SPGO on the rest. Tossed on some cherry wood chips for flavor.

Sauced up using some Salt Lick Honey Pecan cut down with a bit of water

Grabbed a picture after the first thigh was already in a 14 year old growing boys mouth... Turned out great, just love how the vortex crisps up the skin and still gives a smokey flavor. The family loved the meal.

Thanks for looking,

- Jason

Looks amazing, that last picture makes me hungry. I would clean all of those plates by myself. It is entirely too easy to make wings vanish...

Great meal
I'm still chuckling at the 14 yo human food disposal. I surprised there was any food left for the family. I've seen girls out eat the boys, too.

The Vortex for the perfect chicken again!

 

[JLinza]

Yep, I could tear those up for sure. Very nice.

Those look awesome Jason! I see you like me and go for the flappers. I can just buy those without the drummy at HEB.

Those look good!!! Looks like you sauced pretty early how did the skin end up?

It was a fight to keep him away, happy to only have lost a Chicken Thigh!

Thanks Rafter H BBQ !!

Thanks, yes, typically I sauce a 5 minutes before pulling or after pulling. Sauce early as the wings hit 150 pretty quick, I still prefer saucing before eating...

Heck yeah looks good. Kind of miss my old cheap kettle and my homemade vortex. Made it by cutting the top and bottom out of a terracotta flower pot at the height and opening size I thought wanted. Worked great until it started cracking out and I couldn't humpty dumpty it back together anymore.

LOL, yep such an easy and inexpensive set up, you really can't beat it for wings and chicken.

I'm late to the party - are there any wings left??

Seriously, looks terrific Jason! I gotta drag out the vortex and get some wings on the kettle soon! Nicely done Sir!

Those look amazing! And my favorite part of the wing, the flat. I wish I could find just the flats here in AZ. You Texans are so lucky to have HEB. I very seldom get to TX, but when I do, hitting an HEB is a must.

Wow, those wings look amazing! I have never seen the vortex in person or up close but I'm guessing it throws the heat up the center giving you a nice hot indirect fire? I use baskets on the edges and cook in the center for a similar effect. This reminds me, I need a new grate for my weber.
