Roti basket wings.

[danbono]

My first time using a basket on the rotisserie..Wings were just OK could have been more crispy.. Temps were running near 400 for some time should have made wings crisper. Couldn't  keep the temps from climbing, unless I removed the lid.

OctoForks = Crispy wings!!!!!

Did you sauce, just dry rub? Air dry?

Hi Half were marinated in  Italian salad dressing the other half teriyaki sauce. I was expecting crispy skin, since the temps were so high at times. They weren't bad over all, just wish they would crisp up some.I didn't air dry since they were marinated.

Will look into the Otco forks, when I'm sure I will using the Rotisserie a lot.

Thanks Dan

PS Once the WSM 22 got hot/high temps i couldn't bring the temps down unless I took the lid off?

Next go around air dry them even though you marinated them. It will help with the skin. You may not achieve the crisp skin with marinating, but drying may help. Injecting then just applying rub will also give you better results on the skin.

once a WSM gets cranking it's almost impossible to get it to come back down. Pretty much the norm for all vertical charcoal smokers. Once I get within 15°-20° of my target temp I start shutting down the lower vents. When I am at the upper temp like 350° I usually only have one lower vent barely cracked, top vent wide open.

Hi I think your right on about the temps..I did let them  get away from me, once they got high, no way were they coming back down.

Thanks Dan
