To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have smoked chicken wings using 13 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Smoked Chicken Wings:
- Make ready 20 IQF Chicken Wings
- Make ready AP Rub*
- Take 1 Cup Salt
- Prepare 1/2 Cup Garlic Granulated
- Take 1/4 Pepper
- Get Rub Mix*
- Get 2 tbsp Garlic Granulated
- Take 2 tbsp White Sugar
- Get 1 tbsp Paprika
- Make ready Sauces*
- Get BBQ Sauce
- Take Hot Sauce
- Take Teriyaki Sauce
Smoke wings, replenishing wood as needed (and adding a coal or two of charcoal as needed), until deeply browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each piece. Stir together paprika, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. If you don't have a meat thermometer, a way to tell if the chicken is done is to poke it deeply with a knife, if the juices run clear and not pink, the chicken is done. For these smoked chicken wings, we used cherry wood pellets, but they would also be really good with hickory or mesquite.
Steps to make Smoked Chicken Wings:
- 3 days before cooking divide the wing quantity in half to thaw. Put 10 wings per gallon sized bag with 2 tbsp of the AP rub. As the wings thaw the ice will melt and mix with the rub and act as a brine.
- Heat smoker to 275° F. I used a combination of charcoal and pecan wood.
- Pat the wings dry and dust both sides with the rub mix. I didn't use a traditional style BBQ rub or my personal chicken rub mix recipe. I wanted them to have a lighter flavor and less of a bark than a brown sugar based rub gives so the sauces could act as the glaze.
- Let sit for just few minutes with the rub before putting on the smoker.
- Smoke them for 1 hour.
- Put the teriyaki sauce in a small bowl and in another bowl mix 2 parts BBQ sauce and 1 part hot sauce. Let these come to room temperature. I did 10 teriyaki and 10 hot bbq.
- After an hour flip and let cook for another half hour.
- Flip again and sauce. After 10 minutes flip and sauce the other side.
- Let them cook for another 10-15 minutes. The light rub will set and add a slight crispness like if fried. The sauce will be thick and smokey.
The good thing about a wood pellet grill from Traeger is that it makes the whole process very easy. They have lots of different options in different price ranges, so check them out if you don't already have one. Let the sauce simmer until it has reduced by half.
