• Wings Cooked Vortex Style On the Weber Kettle with Chicken Rub #2 - Recipe Included!

I've really been enjoying the Vortex I bought a few months back, and only have been using it to cook chicken wings with outstanding results. This is a really handy device and you can learn more about it here:

We decided to have wings the other night, and I happened to find a bottle of my Chicken Rub #2, which I haven't used in some time, so I thought it would be great to bring back an old favorite. I developed this rub back in 2010, but kind of forgot about it as I have so many other rubs I've been gifted.

Now, back to the chicken!

First, after the wings were cut, they were lightly slathered in mayo, then generously coated with Chicken Rub #2, and sat covered in a bowl for a few hours so the ingredients could all get happy together.

Here's the wings about 10 minutes into the cook, with a piece of oak over the Vortex:

The wings were super tasty - the best dry rub I've had on wings hands down. Here's the recipe:
