    Did around 3 dozen wings last night for the kids and I over the pit. Cooked them over some white oak and hickory slivers, and doused them with my homemade mild ranch/garlic sauce.....The combination of smoke and sauce is absolutely unbeatable.....

    Getting them started.....

    I love wings, but only had modest success in cooking them at home. Yours look fabulous! :)

    How do you make the garlic sauce or do you buy it?

    Here's my basic sauce mix....

    Scotty's Mild Ranch/Garlic Wing Sauce

    2C - Frank's Red Hot
    1C - Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch salad dressing
    1 packet - Hidden Valley Ranch powder mix
    2 tbsp - apple cider vinegar
    1 tbsp - butter
    2 tbsp - honey
    1-2 cloves fresh minced garlic

    Simmer mixture in saucepan over low heat and mix, then take off of heat and mix into finished hot wings.

    I like to put parmesan cheese over top of the wings after I sauce them up.......

    This is an awesome sauce with a little heat too.....my whole family loves it. If you want it hitter you can add habanero or other pepper to it.

    Looks good man:thumbs:
    If you moved a little further south you'd realize folks don't know there is another dressing besides Ranch:rofl: :lol:
    I like the Frank's and butter - that is actually Hooter's sauce, but mostly just roll them all in a bowl with sauce and back on to set the sauce after cooked through - crisp & flavor
