I’ve done them many times before and they turn out really good, wanting to change it up a little. Just wondering if anyone brines their wings? Thoughts, pros and cons?

How long do you brine wings? Five minutes?

Smoke them, let them cool, then fry em up and toss in sauce. Thats how TBT does over here.

Just season them an hour or two before you want to put them on the smoker. Overnight may be overkill for wings.

This is the best technique if you want to render the skin more palatable.

Is that a Stump's smoker in your avi?


eta: sorry for the hijack....season an hour before. Smoke then flash fry.

It's very similar to Stumps's gravity fed smoker. Built by Scott Smith out of Acworth, GA. Southern Q Smokers & Trailers.

I’ve got them in the brine now. Going to smoke for two hours, then remove the place setter and crisp them up on some high heat.

I posted a thread last week asking about smoking wings on a gas grill. There was a lot of great feedback in there that I used and it turned out really, really good. I think the brine posts vs. not brine posts was about half and half.

F&DB really came through for me on that one.

Tossed in sauce is like sprinkling Tony's on crawfish in the cooler.

I’ve done wings every which way there is. The last few months I’ve been brining my wings overnight. My favorite way so far. You can’t “over brine” them.

Rinse them after the brine and pat dry. I season them for an hour or so before cooking them on indirect heat. I’ll then flash dry and toss in liquid or skip the flash dry altogether.

Can’t go wrong with brined wings. I make a gallon of brine at a time and keep in old milk jug in fridge so I always have some ready to go for wings and pork chops.
