Are against it and calls it "burnt food."

A few cooks I've done this year so far, my main woods are a mix of Hickory, Apple, Pecan and Alder

Man this **** looks amazing man good job. Do you guys use wood chips when grilling wings? (While wings not drumettes)

 

[cards93]

I use turbinado sugar (sugar in the raw), paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, and celery seed. Simple, but good. I usually make a huge batch and I'll get a few smokes out of it.

I always have used Brown sugar, but lately I've been using the sugar in the raw and I love it.

What do you mean by char on the chicken?

You tryna get crispy skin on smoked chicken?
Grilled chicken wit crispy skin?
Some people dont clean the grates good enough and the left over residue is the black stuff.
Your AP rub sounds about right tho. Salt/pepper/garlic as the base and an extra ingredient is the basic way to keep it.

 

[cards93]

Char is the black burnt spots when you bbq.

I personally love some char on my chicken. Not over done, but a nice char is always appreciated.

 

[SC kid]

it really is.

its a fine line to walk.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yea, basically dark spots on the chicken from direct flame. Adds crisp. Nice color.

Like, they call this burnt. I call it crispy.

Not all from the grill, but was just giving an idea of my color of choice

 

[cards93]

Looks good to me man, I wouldn't say that's burnt. As long is the inside is juicy and moist then that **** is good to go.

 

[wavy daddy]

The legs look on point. Few of yhose wings look a lil burnt, the last pic thighs? They look extra crispy but I like em like that.

I might be lookin wrong, but it looks like you put a glaze on the chicken? The amount of glaze you put can result in over crispy skin or just the right crisp.

 

[SC kid]

that looks good dc




im not really a wing fan. flame on.


i almost never order wings at restaurants or the china spot.


the only part of the wing i like is the white meat part on the mini leg.

 

[cards93]

You guys ever see the competition bbq cooks that take the skin off the breast/thigh, scrape all the fat off the skin, and then rewrap the piece of chicken? That is aggressive as hell, but I bet that skin is crispy as **** and there is no pull when you take a bite.

Lol yeah thats so the skin gets crispy witout the chicken gettin over done. Tedious work, I aint got time for that tho

What about ribs? Yall like to take a solid bite wit no tug, or fall off the bone?

 

[SC kid]

thats too much.


i seen some cats on tv that take the membrane off ribs.


i leave that on. i like it

 

[cards93]

You have to take the membrane off man, that's SOP. It's easy to pull off and with the membrane they can get rubbery imo.

 

[SC kid]

i like how they taste tho.

with rib you should be able to take a bit and leave a perfect outline of your teeth (like a half circle), with no pull.

Yeah thays how i make mine 75% of the time, but evry now and then they are fall off the bone.
I dont ever get complaints, but i hear a lot of dudes talmbout its over done if its fall off the bone.

Just wanted solid opinions since I hear old skool smokers talmbot how fall off the bone is over cooked. It can still be tender but its still over done.

 

[elpablo21]

I try to get that perfect tenderness with ribs but if its falling off the bone Im def not mad either..Im not in any competitions

I enjoy the process of the tedious things cooks do in comps though just cause sometimes


jrp44 I throw some wood on the coals every now and then when I grill chicken but not too often.

The last picture is Chicken Meatballs.

The Glaze is Sweet Baby Ray + Grace Jerk Sauce

Yes, the sugars allows for easier carmelization.
