Today we are smoking up some chicken wings on the weber kettle using the vortex! The vortex almost always ensures were going to have crispy smoky wings, but I have a few tips to ensure your wings are perfect! Now as far as flavoring, we are taking a bottle of Dr Pepper, reducing it and using that as the perfect wing sauce! These are really good, and I highly recommend you give it a try! Sound good? Lets get started...

Step 1: Wet Brine the Wings
Using a ratio of 1 Cup water to 1 Tbsp Kosher Salt, Completely cover the wings in a ziplock and leave in fridge overnight
Step 2: Trim the Wings
Take the wings out of the ziplock and completely rinse them and then pat them dry
Using a sharp knife, separate the flats, drums, and tips
Step 3: Rub down the Wings
Lightly coat both sides of the wings in a layer of olive oil, and then lightly apply garlic powder and black pepper
Move wings to fridge uncovered for an hour or so to dry out
Step 4: Smoke the wings
Time to smoke your wings. on the pellet grill, the 0-400 method works great.
For the weber kettle, I love using the vortex.
You can absolutely fry these off as well!
Step 5: Make the Wings Sauce
Combine ingredients
Put onto stove and simmer until reduced by half
Step 6: Sauce the wings
Put the wings into a bowl and coat them in the wing sauce
toss around to evenly coat
let them sit for a few minutes to really get that sticky glaze
Enjoy!
