Duck Fat Chicken Wings using the Vortex

Chicken wings cooked on a charcoal grill (I love my trusty Weber grills!) using a Vortex are the best. Not only do you get great flavor and crunchy skin, you get a light (or heavy.. It’s up to you, you can control it!) smoky flavor. You can’t go wrong with them. But you can make them even better using duck fat spray. What a difference it makes, too. They are better tasting and crunchier. These duck fat chicken wings using the Vortex are the decadent wings that dreams are made of.

Duck Fat And The Vortex Made For Great Wings

The Vortex enables you to get super-hot temperatures on a charcoal grill. That heat not only cooks them perfectly, it gives them a crunchier skin. You just cannot beat duck fat chicken wings using the Vortex.

Adding duck fat spray not only helps with getting that fantastic crunchy it skin, it also adds a fantastic different flavor than if you’d used vegetable or olive oil instead. It makes a world of difference.

I also love making dry wings using the Vortex.

Duck Fat Chicken Wings using the Vortex

You can't wrong with these.

Calories: 503kcal

Equipment

Vortex

Ingredients

3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
Duck fat spray
Your favorite wing seasoning
Your favorite wing sauce

Instructions

Place the Vortex into the center of your grill and add in the charcoal. Open the bottom vents on your grill by 1/3.
Light a charcoal chimney full of charcoal. Alternatively you can fill your Vortex with charcoal and light them inside the unit.
Let the charcoal get fully ashed over then add to the Vortex.
If you want extra smoke flavor, place a small wood chunk or two over the center of the Vortex and let it ignite and smoke.
Place the wings into a large bowl. Spray lightly with the duck fat while tossing. Don't get them soaking wet, you're looking for a light coating. Think 'squirt squirt' and not 'fence painting'.
Add the chicken as shown in the picture above.
Close the grill and cook for 45 minutes. If you are using a large charcoal grill (22" or bigger) you might want to rotate the lid 90 degrees every 15 minutes. I haven't found this to be necessary on smaller (18" and 14") grills.
Transfer wings to a bowl and toss with your favorite seasoning and sauce as desired.

Notes

If you’re saucing your wings with a refrigerated sauce, make sure you bring it to room temperature first or warm it over medium heat.

Cholula Caliente Wings

These Cholula Caliente wings are something special. Traditional Buffalo wing sauce needed a south-of-the-border twist, and this is it. Nicely spicy, it has a great combination of peppers that make for one of the best tasting sauces I’ve had. If you’re a fan of Cholula’s hot sauce, you’ll be an even bigger fan of this wing sauce.

A Great Tasting Sauce

It’d be an understatement to say I’m a big lover of Cholula’s Caliente wing sauce. Ditto their other wing sauce that I’ve tried, Cholula Mexicali. And like any Cholula sauce, wing or hot, it’s good on just about anything. Like nachos. Or tacos. You name it. I don’t use it sparingly, I load up and then I add some more. No such thing as too much of this sauce.

And, according to my wife, the bottle is pretty.

Remember that if you have to refrigerate your open bottle of wing sauce to let it sit out on the counter for at least 30 minutes before using. You don’t want to ‘shock’ hot, just-cooked wings with a cold sauce.

Hooters 3 Mile Island Wings

This is it. The pinnacle of wings from a chain restaurant, Hooters 3 Mile Island wings. But made at home with little fuss and tons of reward. Yeah, they’re spicy. They’re mighty spicy in fact. But tasty too. Heat and tasty are a good thing. Lightly breaded and fried in no time, these are definitely one of my favorite wings of all time. These are not wings for the faint of heart. For the fearful of the heat. You have to be committed to these. Take that first bite, and keep going until you’re done. No breaks. No resting. Get in there, and enjoy every spicy bite!

Buckle Up, It’s Going To Be A Spicy Ride

For me, these Hooters 3 Mile Island wings have just the right amount of heat. I mean heck yeah, they’re spicy. If you’re not really into that kick, you can make Hooters traditional hot wings at home too. Same great flavor without all the heat. But still a good bit of it, though. If you’re after hot wings don’t mess around with it.

It’s Not All Heat

I have a thing about wings being so darned hot that all I get is burn and pain and no flavor. Not with these. That’s why I like them so much. Even though I know I’m in for a spicy ride, I know that ride is also flavorful. I wouldn’t go on the ride if I didn’t get taste, too.

Lillie’s Q White Wings

The more and more Lillie’s Q white wing sauce I eat, the more I love it. That’s not to say it’s growing on me. I loved it right out of the bottle the first time. It’s just that I keep finding it to be even more enjoyable on each and every batch of wings that I make. It’s got a great spice level. A bit of a kick. Enough to make my lips tingle. It has a slight vinegar flavor, like any Alabama white sauce-like sauce. But it’s not overpowering. It’s creamy, mayonnaise-like, but it doesn’t taste like mayonnaise. It’s different and it’s great! And so are Lillie’s Q White wings!

Thick And Ready To Do The Job

Lillie’s Q white wing sauce is thick. It’s a bit hard to get it out of the glass (yes! glass! Thank you!) bottle. Give it a good shake before using it. And I don’t mean one of those ‘shake-shake-done’ things. Shake it like you mean it. And don’t be shy with it. It kind of ‘melts’ as you put it on your wings. If you go super light you might not see it. Not that it won’t be there. You’ll get the heat in every bite of some Lillie’s Q White wings!

Lillie’s Q – White Wing Sauce, Mayonnaise…

SMOOTH, CREAMY SAUCE WITH A KICK: This creamy…
PREMIUM WING SAUCES FOR EVERY OCCASION: White Wing…

Brrrrrrrr!

Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that times getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.

So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.

Wing-Time Thai Chili Buffalo Wings

I, like a lot of people, am a big fan of the Buffalo wing sauces from Wing-Time. They’re creamy, delicious, and come in different heat levels so they’re great for anyone and any occasion. So I was excited when I came across the Wing-Time Thai Chili Buffalo wing sauce in the grocery store. But, honestly, the first taste killed that excitement pretty quick. For a Buffalo sauce, this is another great sauce. But I got no Thai Chili flavor at all. I tried, too. I even asked others to taste it. Nothing. What happened? I don’t know. So, good Buffalo sauce, but not a Thai Chili sauce in my opinion. But Wing-Time Thai Chili Buffalo Wing Sauce wings are still good!

I’m Kinda Sad. Actually, I Am Sad.

I couldn’t find any contact info for Wing-Time online. Their website is gone. Their Facebook page is inactive. Fortunately, though, the manufacturer of their sauces, Allied Old English, is still around (but didn’t respond to a DM on FB). Boy, I sure hope this means that their sauces will still be available online and in stores. I also hope that my experience with the Wing-Time Thai Chili Buffalo wing sauce was a fluke! Because I sure do love their other sauces. Maybe my bottle got mis-labelled!

Wing-Time Buffalo Wing Sauce Medium (1)

A perfect blend of taste and heat

Brrrrrrrrrr!

So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.

Aji Amarillo Wings

Aji amarillo is an orange-colored pepper from Peru. I haven’t been able to find it in the US in pepper-form, but you can find a paste made from pureed aji peppers in some foreign food markets. Aji amarillo rates between 35,000 and 50,000 on the Scoville scale, meaning it’s about as hot as Tabasco sauce. It has a nice fruity flavor that reminds me a bit of habanero, but without the scorching heat. I encountered aji amarillo often in dishes throughout Peru when I lived there long, long ago. But I never had wings. Well, now I have and they are fantastic!

Aji Pepper Flavor

Since I love chicken wings, I decided to cook up a batch and instead of saucing them with just a traditional Buffalo sauce, I made a variation that adds aji amarillo paste. The end result was just a bit spicy, with a fantastic fruity pepper flavor. For me, it’s important that wings taste good and not just bring the heat. I don’t seek out the hottest sauces. But I do seek out the tastiest. That’s why my wing journey will never end. There are always new flavors to discover. Like aji amarillo!

Inca’s Food Aji Amarillo Paste – Hot Yellow Pepper…

Pack of 7.5 ounces
Specialty from Peru

Kick It Up More!

These were fantastic wings, and definitely a nice twist on the usual. If you like your wings to be a bit spicier, just add more of the aji amarillo paste. Since it’s not overwhelmingly hot you don’t have to worry about a-little-goes-a-long-ways. You can add quite a bit and still get great flavor without burning the roof of your mouth.

Viva Peru

For me, the perfect beverage to go with these wings is a super-cold glass of Inca Kola. Years after living in Peru, this is easily still my favorite soda of all time. I seek it out wherever I can find it. Or I order it only. It’s like a cross between bubble gum and Mountain Dew. Yeah, might sound odd but it’s super crazy tasty.

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.

See my guides for cooking your wings and for saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually.

There are a good number of garlic Parmesan wing sauces on the market. I knew that the one from Legend Larry’s would stand above the crowd. All of their wing sauces do.

These Legend Larry’s Garlic Parmesan wings are great!

Oh. So. Good. A Wonderful Wing Sauce

Legend Larry’s garlic Parmesan wing sauce hit the spot on my wings. But with that first bite I knew it’d also be great on more. I could definitely see using it on a salad as dressing. Or on pasta.

Kosmos Q Seven Pepper Face Lift Dry Wings

You probably don’t need me to tell you that there’s a lot of pepper in this seasoning. Kosmos Q Seven Pepper Face Lift dry wings are crazy good, but I gotta warn you. It opens up with a kick. It’ll wake you up, but an instant later you get nothing but fantastic peppery flavor. I mean, really good. After a few bites I was all about that heat and pepper and couldn’t get enough. But I admit, that first kick was … a kick!

The Label Does Say Pepper…

If you’re a tad shy about heat I’d recommend going light on the Kosmos Q Seven Pepper Face Lift seasoning the first time. And I don’t recommend sticking your finger into the bag the first time you open it to get a big ole taste. I paid for that. But, the heat does go away pretty quick, fortunately for me. These Kosmos Q Seven Pepper Face Lift dry wings are perfect!

Make sure you seal your wing seasonings well after using. You don’t want any moisture sneaking in. Kosmos Q comes in quality pouches that seal perfectly!

I like to air fry my dry wings. I season them upfront. Then I cook them. Then I season them again, hot out of the air fryer. Then I plate them. And then I season them again. Yep, three times. Three times the flavor. Three times the enjoyment!

Melinda’s Creamy Style Ghost Pepper Wings

There’s no denying it. Melinda’s Creamy Style Ghost pepper wing sauce is HOT. I do mean spicy, tingle-my-lips hot. But it’s a good burn. I’m not one of those guys that’s in a constant search for the latest, hottest sauce. I like a bit of a kick, and a lot of flavor. Well, this sauce has a lot of both. If you’re looking for a sauce that’ll wake you up and still tastes fantastic, grab a bottle. Use a little (like I did) or a lot (if you’re into heat!). Melinda’s Creamy Style Ghost Pepper wings pack a kick!

Sure, It’s Spicy. But It’s Oh So Good, Too!

If you’re afraid of the heat, just do like I did and just toss a few Melinda’s Creamy Style Ghost Pepper wings with just a bit of the sauce for starters. Take a few bites and see where you are. After that initial kick I found myself liking the sauce more and more and more. So I added some more sauce. The combination of ghost, habanero and cayenne peppers makes for a wonderful sauce.
