Terodactyl Wings

Grilled and smoked chicken wings are certainly nothing new. However, turkey wings on the grill are new to me. I've cooked plenty of turkey legs, but never wings -- until now. If you like wings, you owe it you yourself to try these. These things are huge! The pan pictured here is a half sheet pan. That should give you some perspective. We're talking about nearly four feet of smoky and sticky poultry wingspan goodness! One wing is easily enough for a man-sized meal.

It's just a little too spicy for my girls.
