HOW TO SMOKE CHICKEN WINGS IN A SMOKER 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:

• 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.
