Now I know my way around the grill pretty well as I cook out about 4 times a week but want to try something new to day and looking for some tips

I am going to grill out wings, had them before, but never grilled them myself and will be cooking them on a gas grill.

Do you cook them slow and on indirect heat or straight on the heat?

Should you baste them in your sauces as you cook or cook them all the way thru and then coat your sauces?

I make my own sauces; will be having straight hot sauce, sweet hot with honey and a garlic lemon pepper sauce. I have my hickory chips box to give smoke taste.

Thanks for any input.....

You can obviously smoke anything, but when it comes to wings on the grill I take my steak method of high heat not a lot of time on the grill. I grill the wings and sauce afterwards myself. If you want to brown them up a little more rub some butter on them before they hit the 450 degree heat:spotting:

On the course!
I use indirect, with the cover on!!!!

Sauce all meat afterwards, IMO, unless you want the sauce burnt on.

You don't want undercooked chicken or pork products, and high, direct, heat will tend to do just that.

If you undercook chicken wings using High heat then my suggestion would be give the grill away and start ordering out, cause you dont need to be grillen:nono:

Wings, maybe not so much, since there is no meat on them.

But, with too high of a heat, people tend to burn the shit outta the outside, and have raw insides.

Yuck!

Yeah I know what you mean. I had a guy ask me notlong back how I cook my steaks. Well I am a ribeye man about 1 inch thick. 450-500 4-5 minutes a side and I have a medium piece of art to be savored. Well a few days later I asked him in passing about the steaks and he said the outsides were burnt and the insides were raw. I inquired to the type of steak and he said he had a porterhouse about 2 inches thick:scared I would have thought common sense would have kicked in for him when seeing the thickness of his steaks, but apparently not. So I agree if you dont know what your doing I guess just be slow and safe. My rule of thumb is the thicker the slower the thinner the faster.

I agree with YYZ. A low smoldering heat, indirect on a gas grill, with the smoker box in back. And I'm not giving away my grill either :SIB ; :0corn
Sauce on both sides for five minutes each, YUM:kiss:
Too each his own :shrug:
