Tips/Tricks
  • indirect  heat is when the wings (or any other meat/veg) is cooking on your bbq NOT directly over the heat source
  • these can also be cooked in the oven but nothing beats the smell and taste you get from a bbq
  • if using bbq you can add some wood to it for maximum smoke flavour - I recommend using cherry, apple or pecan
  • make sure you reserve some sauce for drizzling over at the end DO NOT use the sauce that you have been basting the wings in
