[Music]hey everybody GT here from GTS BBQ heythe Sun came out a little bit today andI had a hankering to use my weber kettleso I’m gonna do up just a basic cook upsome chicken wings I’m just gonna do inBarenaked I’m not gonna season them atall until after they’re cooked this issomething I’ve seen done before but I’venever tried it so we’ll get these thingsprepped up here in a second and we’llsee what we get okay I’ve got our wingslaid out here that’s a little bit of iceon them looks like no big deal not a lotto do to prep these I always like to cutoff any of the extra fat like so andthis little wing tip usually if you justget in the joint pops through just likethat do the rest of these I’m not gonnamake you sit there and watch this it’svery simple rinse lather repeat if youhave some leftover skin or some extraskin like this just cut it off like soand these things are gonna be beautifulso stay tuned I’ll be right back andwe’ll get them out on the grill okaythere you have it dozen wings I’m gonnaleave them just like this I’m not gonnaseize them at all just straight on thegrill they’re gonna go probably here inabout five minutesI did Pat them dry we’ll take them outget them on the grill and we’ll see whatwe get so stay tuned okay let’s take alook at the setup I’m going to use todayfor this I might slow and seer herebasically so I can have a high heat zoneand a indirect zone over here I’m gonnaput the wings on this side let them cookget them pretty much done and then I’mgonna sear them over these hot coals I’mjust gonna use some regular oldKingsford blue briquettes I already havesome in here that I had saved from aprevious cookand I also have a few chunks of cherrywood down in here it’s not going to takea lot where the swings only take aboutOh probably an hour and however many ofthese coals that don’t burn I can justshut the vents down and I’ll save themfor next time I’m not going to put waterin the trough here but a lot of timesfor low and slow cooks for briskets orfor pork butts I’ll go ahead and keepwater in that helps keep moisture in thecooking area so so stay tuned I’ll beright back and I’m also going to try outa new Terkel lighter device that I gotfor Christmas and see how that thingworks so stay tuned I’ll be right backso I haven’t used this thing before it’sbasically a device that just uses hotair there’s an element in here that getshot and in theory we just push it upagainst the coals and give this thing atry I’m told they work really wellI already see a little smoke coming outof therefew sparksI don’t know I guess it’s been about 15secondsI can smell it oh yeahgot a little start going thereit looks like it’s designed so you canjust clip it on the side but in at leastthis model you have to keep the triggeronthere we go we’re starting to get someflame I should have timed this I guessit’s been about one minute I’ve alreadygot a good start going and I’m sure if Iturn this off right now they wouldcontinue to burn across but I want toget the whole thing going for thisparticular cook he usually takes about Idon’t know 10 or 15 minutes for me touse my traditional starter blocks in mychimney starter so oh wow that’s thing[Applause]starting to get some pretty good flamedown in there that sites going prettywellstart over here okay so I guess I’m I’mguessing that’s been about three threeand a half minutes we got a good flamestarted they’re nice and hot downunderneath so yeah I’d call that lessthan five minutes these things are allcatching on fire pretty well nice andhot all the way down to the bottomthey’re certainly not ready to cook onyet but that’s all I’m gonna need okay Iguess it’s been about 25 minutes thesecoals are looking awesome I’m gonna goahead and put the wings on the indirectheat side here I’m gonna do skin side upI’m not even going to use a temp probein here I’ve got this thing pretty hotit’s probably going to run around 325maybe even 350 and I do have the ventholes over on this side so my tempsensors right over the coals so that’snot going to be accurate but it isn’tgoing to matter I want it to get goodand hot in there and get those crisps upso stay tuned we’ll be back here Ohprobably in a half hour or so and checkon them okay it’s been about thirtyminutes here I’m gonna check these takea look what we got starting to get alittle brown and I am going to go aheadand rotate rotate theseso there you go see my coals are doinggood got plenty of heat put this back onit’s been 30 minutes so I’m gonna letthem I’m probably gonna check them herein about 20-25 minutes just to make surethey’re not overdone and we’ll get atemp on them so stay tuned I’ll be rightback okay it’s been in another 15minutes take a peek at these guysoh yeah they’re looking delicious I’mgonna turn them over one more time ohyeah take a quick temp we’re looking for165 and we’re at about 190 already sothese are done I’m gonna let them crispthere for about five more minutes getthem insidewe’ll get them seasoned and we’ll seehow they tastestay tuned okay total cook time is about50 minutes the skin could be a littlebit more crispy but they were tempingabout 180 degrees already and I do feellike there’s going to be bite through onthat and what I’m going to use is Cosmoskew winged dust this one is garlic parmand I have some of it in a shaker hereI’m going to get a little coating ofthat on one side and looks like thisstuff sticks really well to really finepowderin fact at the time it makes me sneezeso there you goI’m gonna let that seasoning soak inhere for about five minutesstay tuned I’ll be right back and we’llsee what it tastes like okay so there wegosome Barenaked chicken wings I put theseon I didn’t seize them at all the skingot nice and crispy looks like I gotsome browniethey were
