Are you ready to take your chicken wing game to the next level? Look no further! In this article, we'll show you how to achieve the perfect 0-400 chicken wings using the Rec Tec 700, a top-of-the-line pellet grill.
What are 0-400 Chicken Wings?
For the uninitiated, 0-400 chicken wings are a style of smoked chicken wings that originated in the competition BBQ circuit. The name "0-400" refers to the temperature range used to cook the wings: 0°F (smoke) to 400°F (high heat). This unique cooking method produces wings that are tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor.
Why Use the Rec Tec 700?
The Rec Tec 700 is a premium pellet grill that offers unparalleled temperature control, precision, and consistency. Its advanced technology allows for seamless transitions between smoking and high-heat cooking, making it the perfect tool for achieving the perfect 0-400 chicken wings.
Recipe and Instructions
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup your favorite dry rub
- 1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce (optional)
Equipment:
- Rec Tec 700 pellet grill
- Pellets of your choice (we recommend a competition blend)
- Meat thermometer
Instructions:
- Prep the Wings: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and season with your favorite dry rub.
- Setup the Rec Tec 700: Preheat the Rec Tec 700 to 225°F, using your preferred type of pellets. Once the grill reaches the set temperature, place the chicken wings on the grill grates.
- Smoke the Wings: Smoke the wings for 2-3 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. During this time, the wings will absorb the rich, smoky flavor of the pellets.
- Crank Up the Heat: Increase the grill temperature to 400°F. Once the grill reaches the set temperature, cook the wings for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 180°F.
- Glaze (Optional): If desired, brush the wings with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the wings from the grill, toss with additional dry rub or BBQ sauce if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips and Variations
- To add an extra layer of flavor, try injecting the wings with your favorite marinade or sauce before cooking.
- Experiment with different types of pellets or wood chips to create unique flavor profiles.
- For an extra crispy exterior, increase the grill temperature to 425°F during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
