Smokin Hot Wings Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.
• Mix 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl to make dry rub. Sprinkle over chicken wings.
• Cook chicken wings in the preheated smoker until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hour.
• Combine hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until butter is melted and sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Transfer smoked wings to a large bowl; stir in 1/2 of the sauce until wings are evenly coated.
• Grill coated wings until skin is browned and starting to get crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining sauce until wings are well-coated.

Steps:

• Remove tips from chicken wings and discard. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth, and divide the mixture in half. Put the chicken and half of the sauce in a resealable plastic bag, shake to coat well and place in the refrigerator from 3 hours to overnight. Reserve the remaining sauce in the refrigerator until ready to serve with wings.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place skin side down, in a shallow flameproof baking dish. Discard marinade. Bake for 50 minutes, flipping over half way through baking. Increase heat to broil and broil wings until crisped, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately with reserved dipping sauce.

Steps:

• For the wings: Preheat a grill to 300 degrees F.
• Combine salt, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Reserve 1 teaspoon for the barbecue sauce, then add hot sauce and chicken wings and mix by hand until fully incorporated. Allow wings to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerated up to 24 hours.
• For the Alabama white barbecue sauce: Place mayonnaise, vinegar, gochujang, salt, Worcestershire, mustard powder, cayenne, black pepper, garlic, ginger and reserved spice mix in a food processor or blender and puree until completely smooth. Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Grill wings, turning every 10 minutes to prevent the sugars from burning, until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 1 hour. (Be sure to take the temperature on both the drummettes and flats, as they have different cooking times.) Serve with Alabama white barbecue sauce.

Steps:

• Chicken wings can take more assertive woods, like hickory or mesquite, but also work well.
• with mellower choices like alder or cherry.
• Trim the wings into sections, discarding the tips.
• Season 1 1/2 pounds of wings with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and a generous 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
• Smoke over medium heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part.
• of the drummie registers 170ºF, 20-25 minutes from the time the smoker lid is closed. Check for doneness after 20 minutes into cooking time.
• After closing the lid of the smoker, slice about 1 1/2 tablespoons butter into a heatproof mixing bowl. Set the bowl on top of the smoker to melt the butter as the wings smoke.
• When the wings are done, toss them in the butter, seasoning them with as much of your favorite hot red pepper sauce as you'd like. That, and a lot of napkins is all you need-skip the celery/blue cheese thing.

Steps:

• Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil; toss with hands until coated. Coat wings evenly with dry rub.
• Light charcoal and heat smoker to 170 to 200 degrees F (77 to 93 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Drain wood chips and place half of them directly on the charcoal. Spread wings evenly on the cooking grate skin-side down.
• Smoke wings until fragrant, about 1 hour.
• Flip wings. Add remaining wood chips to the charcoal. Continue smoking until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 1 hour more.
• Serve chicken wings with blue cheese dressing.
