I decided to focus all my efforts on wings this year. I tried the buttermilk, salt/pepper brine on half followed by a toss in franks redhot wing sauce with butter. The other half I did with a family favorite wing marinade I've shared on the forum a few times, but I will continue to push it! I cant recommend trying this enough. I picked it up from a Webber grill book ten years ago and every time friends/family come over for a get together they request it. It's almost a bi weekly meal now.
The recipe is for about a dozen full wings, multiply as needed!
1/2 cup EVOO
4 Tblspn fresh lemon (I often increase this a bit)
2 Tblspn minced fresh garlic
3 Tsp kosher salt
4 Tsp dried oregano
4 Tsp paprika
2 Tsp celery seed
2 Tsp cayenne pepper
Mix all ingredients in mixing bowel, pour into ziplock with wings and seal. Put in fridge 2-4 hrs, rotating every 30 min for even coat.
I used to marinade then do indirect high heat, but a few months back I got a MES and started doing low and slow 225 followed by crisping over direct medium charcoal grill. The smoker to grill gives texture and taste beyond belief
