Gas-grilled Chicken Wings Recipe

Gas-Grilled Chicken Wings

From donman 15 years ago

I copied this recipe word for word online from Cook’s Illustrated. I thought that it was a real good recipe and wanted to pass it on.

¾ cup kosher salt (or 6 tablespoons table salt) shopping list
¾ cup granulated sugar shopping list
12 whole chicken wings (about 2 1/2 pounds) separated into sections following illustrations below, wingtips discarded shopping list
ground black pepper shopping list

In gallon-sized zipper-lock plastic bag, dissolve salt and sugar in 1 quart water. Add chicken; press out as much air as possible from bag and seal; refrigerate until fully seasoned, 30 minutes. Remove from brine, rinse well under running water, dry thoroughly with paper towels, and season with pepper.
Turn all burners on grill to high, close lid, and heat grill until hot, 10 to 15 minutes. Adjust one burner to medium and grill chicken pieces over it, turning once, until color is light spotty brown, skin has thinned, and fat has rendered, 15 to 20 minutes. Using tongs, move chicken pieces over burner still set on high, turning constantly to prevent charring, until wings are dark spotty brown and skin has crisped, 5 to 7 minutes longer. Transfer to serving platter and serve immediately, with a squeeze of lemon or lime, or with an accompanying dipping sauce, if desired.

Thanks for the nice comments and 5 rating my friend but I must confess. As with the recipe, the picture to isn't mine :( I found it to on the internet. It is as close as the recipe looks when followed. I'm a strong believer in giving credit to whom credit is due :)
