Crunchy Wings

I love crispy wings, but it is just too much trouble to deep fry them at home. I read online that you could get crunchier wings on the grill by dusting them with cornstarch. So, why not?

Another technique for getting crispy skin, letting the drummies dry in the refrigerator overnight.

I mixed cornstarch and my own rub together, and coated the wings. They set for 1/2 an hour, while I got the grill going.

A 300f grill for twenty minutes a side (cover down), moving the pieces around the grill to get them over the hot spot. Only one hot spot! It took forever, moving these things around to get them hot enough to crisp up.

In the end, there was more crispiness to hold sauce, but because the rub was cut with cornstarch, there was a lack of spice and salt. I'll make some adjustments and try this again.
