This was so awesome, y'all.
2 lbs. of chicken wings.
About five teaspoons of lemon pepper seasoning.
1 tablespoon of flour.
1 tablespoon of baking powder (not soda).
A splash of olive oil to get it all rubbed down and happy.
So, you mix all that in a bowl and make sure everything is coated really good.
Then go fire up the Weber kettle with the Vortex cone set up with the small side up.
Get your kettle as hot as you can get it. All vents wide open. I was hitting 450 degrees or so. Put a piece of peach wood over the Vortex.
Arrange the wings around the Vortex so you're cooking on indirect heat.
Flip every 15-20 minutes and spin the lid so the smoke covers everything really good.
After about an hour, start checking temps. Although chicken is "done" at 165 degrees you want to take these bad boys a lot higher than that. They can take it.
This recipe is all about the skin and if you did it right, the skin will be crispy like it was fried, but with that awesome smoke flavor.
I pulled mine when they were all temping at 200+
They were FANTASTIC!
DO THIS!
