I Tried the Viral 0-400 Wing Method So You Don't Have To

I tested the viral 0-400 chicken wings method on my pellet grill, but with one major twist—I used whole chicken wings instead of party wings. The 0-400 method has become incredibly popular because it's simple: put the wings on a cold grill, crank it to 400°F, and let them cook and absorb some smoke flavor as the grill heats up. But does it still work with whole wings? And can it compete with my favorite wing method thus far using the Weber kettle and Vortex? In this video, I'll show you: • How I dry brine whole chicken wings • My pellet grill 0-400 cooking process • When I sauce the wings for the best results • The final texture and flavor • An honest comparison to Vortex wings Products used in this video: 🔥 Large Pellet Smoker (Recteq RT-700 discontinued.
