I picked up some pre seasoned fresh wings from Harris teeter. These things are only $5 a bucket and each had 10-12 wings. One was labeled Cajun and one bbq. I Also picked up a pre seasoned Cajun breast that was marked down. Not too shabby for less than $13 worth of chicken. It Was raining the whole time haha but I just hung out in the garage and watched football and rotated the lid about every 10-15 minutes. I’ve never thrown breasts on when I was using the vortex but I just seared it over the flame then moved it to the side. Gave it a nice char and I think it turned out really good. The sauce for the Cajun wings I did franks, butter, 1 tsp of Italian dressing and fresh garlic and the bbq one’s I just threw some SBR on for my daughter. Enough talk here are some pictures

MM MMMM MMMMMM... Perfection right there...

Did the breast take as long as the wings... Or you started the wings first ??

Looks great 👍
 
Nice looking tray full of good eats! I'd certainly get my fill of wings.....
 
Chick-a-dees look perfect. Nicely done. My Vortex sits permanently in my 22.

Point for sure

Looks great.
Some of my favorite wings and dummy's probably came off of a similar setup with a big chunk of Pecan or Cherry over the fire. I tried a poor man's vortex back then using a terracotta pot that I cut to the dimensions I wanted. Worked great until it finally started cracking in multiple places, a few cooks were like putting Humpty Dumpty together.
