    I do my wings on a kettle with Vortex. No special treatment of any kind required. Just hit them with a wing rub I like and toss them on. Crispy outside and moist and tender inside.

      I used to use baking powder, and it works good. Now, I use corn starch and think I like it better. Works really, really well. Don't make a mistake by using baking soda.

        While you are all hear talking about chicken wings... what are y'alls thoughts on the Alton Brown method (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/...recipe-1972721) of steaming them first to render some fat and then make them (I use the grill of course).

        I have tried the baking powder route, the long uncovered in the fridge in a dry brine, and the Alton Brown method.... I liked all three to be honest, I am just not sure the Alton Brown method was worth the extra effort of steaming.

          J. Kenji disproved the "steam" method as being effective. It's also a PITA. https://www.seriouseats.com/2010/02/...ppetizers.html

          I'd look at the various articles on Serious Eats to come to your own conclusion as to methodology.

          I generally sous vide or pressure cook first (I think Kenji has a SV method, ChefSteps has a pressure method), fridge dry and baking powder, then deep fry quickly to crisp. Oven frying may work here, too.

        Baking powder, not soda. It lowers the ph and causes the skin to crisp better. I do it on wings that are not to be fried.
