Dinosaur Chicken Wings Directions
- First, you render out the fat and tenderize the meat on a medium hot grill. Then, you crisp and glaze them over hot coals. You might find it useful to light another chimney of briquettes when you give the wings their first flip after 45 minutes, so you can add a few fresh coals to boost the heat at the end for a perfect finish.
- Mix the wings, oil and rub of your choice together in a large bowl.
- Fire up your grill and mound up the coals one side. Spread the wings out on the other side of the grill, away from the coals. Cover the grill and cook the wings for about 45 minutes. Open the grill, flip the wings over, and switch them around - move the ones closet to the heat source off to the side, and move the ones on the outside edge closer to the heat source.
- Remember to start another chimney of charcoal now.
- Cover again and cook about 45 minutes more, until the meat is tender.
- Add some hot coals to the fire, and flip the wings over direct heat of the coals.Brush the wings with the Mutha Sauce or Hot BBQ sauce, flip them again, and let them cook for about 4 minutes so that the heat can caramelize the sauce. Brush the wings again with sauce and flip them over to cook another 4 minutes on that side. Slather the wings with the sauce one last time to glaze them, and pull them off the grill as they're finished.
- Serve with bleu cheese dressing for dipping and celery sticks.
