Are you psychic or did you read my post about carbonara pasta? lol It is one of my favorite ones. I make mine similarly but didn't know the trick about the eggs that's very ingenious.

Hahaha. Yeah, I guess what makes the recipe work better is that the egg/pasta is mixed first THEN the garlic/oil is added; this gives the noodles a different coating/texture. I usually added the cooked pasta to the garlic/oil and then added in the egg mixture, but this results in a less of an "eggy" coating on the noodles as they are already covered in oil. So for me, from now on: it's egg/pasta first, then oil and not pasta/oil and then egg.

(I didn't see your post about Carbonara...is it in this thread?)

My husband is also making 3 dozens of chicken wings but grilling them instead of frying them and I'm going to be indulging in them while he watches the Super Bowl.

I love chicken wings but hate the mess of deep frying so i bake them quite a lot.

I dry them with a hairdryer and then toss in cornflour (cornstarch for our Stateside chums), smoked paprika, salt and pepper and baking powder which helps the skin get crispy.

Through them in a smoking hot oven for about 45 mins and then go for whatever sauce you want.

This week i did a thai style sauce. Fish sauce, soy sauce, palm sugar, chopped chilis and a couple of table spoons of homemade red curry paste. Finish with lime juice and coriander and toss the wings until smothered in sweet loveliness.

Amazing Smoked Chicken Wings

The Secrets to making amazingly delicious smoked wings with step by step instructions. These will be a smashing success! #wings #chickenwings #smoking #grilling

So check that out but it's an assload of text to say "use hickory or pecan". The problem with smoking wings is that the skin is completely rubbery. If you have a deep fryer toss them in for like 3 minutes and it crisps up the skin perfectly.
 
Drying them with a hair dryer is a great trick, thanks for sharing it! We usually grill our chicken wings even I the winter because we have our grill under a cover porch but don't grill much do that's my husband thing. But your way to make your wings is very ingenious and I'm going to give it a try, until I get a air fryer.
