Description

Adapted from Susie Bulloch’s recipe on HeyGrillHey.com


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lb chicken wings, cut into flats and drumettes
  • HeyGrillHey’s Lemon Pepper rub 
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 23 tsp fresh lemon juice

Ingredients for  lemon pepper wings


Instructions

  • Set up your grill for indirect cooking with your Smoke X2 and your Billows BBQ Control Fan controlling the temperature. Heat to 425°F (218°C). 

Setting up the grill for indirect high heat

  • Pat your wings dry with paper towels and toss them with a liberal coating of the rub. 

Seasoned chicken wings, raw

  • Place the wings on the grill over indirect heat and insert a 2.5″ needle probe into one of them. Set the high-temp alarm for 175°F (79°C). Close the lid and cook. 

Probing a chicken wing

  • When the high-temp alarm sounds, start putting groups of wings over the direct heat to sear and char. Close the lid for about a minute, then open it, flip them, and close it again.

Searing the wings

  • Cycle in another group of wings until all have been seared and charred somewhat over direct heat. 
  • Temp the wings with your Thermapen ONE. As each wing reaches a temperature of 175°F (79°C) or higher, remove them to a bowl. If any are still not up to temp, close the lid on them and allow them to cook more. 

Temping the wings

  • Melt the butter and lemon juice gently together. Pour it onto the wings and toss them. 

Tossing the wings with lemon and butter

  • Pile the wings on a platter and serve them up! Serve with more lemon wedges or slices to squeeze onto the wings according to taste.
