10minute video that some people might find interesting (i referred to it earlier).
they try 10 different ways of making wings. be it oven, microwave, air fryer grill (not bbq) and evaluate it based on ease, taste and time taken.

I do in the slow cooker coated in the following.
Oil, honey, fresh ginger & chilli & spices cumin, turmeric, salt, white pepper, smoked paprika, garlic, oregano.
Then
Dip/coat in a mix of melted butter & hot sauce before finishing under the grill or on bbq.
For me this gives perfect texture a little crispy on the outside but super soft inside (that just falls off the bone

Currently got another batch of mine marinating in the fridge, it's been about 24 hours. Will be cooking them a bit later.
I've bought whole wings, same as Bodeans, I'm going to cook them like that, not that it'll change the taste, but I quite like pulling them apart at Bodeans, hopefully it'll be as easy for my own.

Have a look at Food Labs version. Kenji goes into the sicence quite a bit, baking powder helps to make the skin crispy.

What is the concensus around leaving the wing whole (as pictured) or cutting the wings up - I cut mine into 3 and disgard the tip piece that's 90% skin and make stock from it.
Last time I cooked wings by this same method, I did as you mention. UTH said:

This time I left whole. My favourite wings in the world are Bodeans, and they come whole, so I thought I'd copy that. Tearing them apart is part of the fun I guess? Other than that, no real difference?

Interesting, I'll have a read, as mine are certainly not crispy. I do model mine on trying to replicate Bodean's wings, which aren't crispy either, but that said, the crispy-type mentioned in your link are also awesome, so being able to do both would be good. https://www.seriouseats.com/the-best-buffalo-wings...

I love chicken wings, but I'm not comfortable buying battery chicken.
Does anyone know of a good source of free range chicken wings?
I did think this last night, I think I paid £1.50-£2 for that whole packet of 11 full wings from Sainsbury's. I'd much rather spend more on free range if possible, but I've not seen it in shops. Does anyone know of a good source of free range chicken wings?
Maybe a butcher? Back when I lived nearby HG Walter, I bought wings from them occasionally. They weren't 'on the menu' as it were - I asked if they did wings and he said he could go out the back and get me some, but they weren't on display. I forgot to ask if they were free range though.

Organic wise, Waitrose do Dutchy ones.

the Hot Wing challenge at The Red Dog Saloon.
Done that, got the T shirt. The “burn time” where you sit there for however many minutes it was after you’ve finished them, letting the chilli do its work, before you’re allowed to eat or drink anything else is … interesting.
