S2K9K' smoked buffalo wings and chicken quarter with q view

[schaydu]

We had a little get to together yesterday and served smoked buffalo wings and smoked chicken quarters. First let me thank S2K9K for the help with the wings. They were definitely a hit, i just wished I had more! If you dont know exactly what smoked wings are ill give you the run down; creole butter mixed with franks wing sauce injected into the wings. I did 1:1 proportions. Then i rubbed the sauce on the wings and let them rest for several hours. As far as the chicken quarters, i followed the slaughter house recipe for the brine, injection, and spritz. I got the smoker going to 350 + and then put the quarters on. Temps recovered qucikly after putting them on and held pretty steady. When i put the wings on 45 minutes later, the smoker dropped to about 270 and it took a while to get the temps back up. I was using kingsford briquettes and pecan.  Oh, i learned that plastic ice buckets are perfect for brining chicken. I filled up my cooler with ice and put the bucket and chicken in it over night. My chicken was full so.....

Anyhow here are the pics

Everything looks great - next time, inject the wings with the sauce and you will find that the flavor really gets into the wing better

Thanks guys! I did inject the wings, it was definitely a nice surprise!

That all looks great. I have yet to try injecting wings but I tried a variation on Daves theme with Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breast before they saw 6 minutes in the Death Grip of my Foreman Grill and had great, juicy and spicy Chicken Boobs...JJ
