Well, after admiring all of the cool photos y'all have posted of chicken wing cooks using the Vortex I decided to join the Cool Kids Club, albeit on a budget (generic Vortex - $20 price difference). I'm making Malcolm Reed's VooDoo Wings.
I dry brined with salt and a little baking powder over night. Malcolm used Cajun seasoning but I was out, I used salt free Jamaican Jerk seasoning instead. For the VooDoo sauce I used Boerne red hot sauce (a newer Texas brand) and Franklin's pork vinegar sauce since I don't have any Killer Hogs products. This VooDoo sauce is amazing, I've been walking by and eating a spoonful periodically.
Just put on the grill with a hunk of pecan.

About 10 minutes to go, added a small piece of hickory a few minutes before this picture. The cook took about 40 minutes. These wings turned out perfect! Juicy, tender, a good crunch to the skin. The Jerk flavor compliments the sauce well. I'll use the vortex method for wings from now on.

I will be taking these and the Asian pork skewers that I made yesterday to the local brewery for the Game this afternoon.
