I have been wanting to try my hand at smoked chicken wings. I picked up a package of wings at our local grocery store. These spicy smoked chicken wings were a hit with the family.
They turned out to be juicy and full of flavor with just the right amount of heat. I smoked these wings the same day that I smoked 2 racks of Honey Bourbon Smoked Ribs.
I used the 3-2-1 method for the ribs and added the wings to my Char-Griller Smokin Champ in the last 90 minutes of the smoke. While the ribs were smoking I prepared the wings.
First I made a marinade for the wings. I placed the wings in 2 one-gallon zip lock bags and poured in the marinade, closed the bags, and mixed. I placed these in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
Spicy Smoked Chicken Wing Marinade:
I smoked the wings between 250 to 290 degrees for 90 minutes. I used hickory wood splits as my heat source. The internal temperature of the wings was 165 to 170 degrees. These were whole wings, I could have split them but I didn't bother. After they were smoked they pulled apart easily.
this sounds amazing - do you use a grill matt when cooking chicken? Or right on the grill surface?
ReplyDeleteHi Scott, No I do not a grill matt. I cook directly on the grill grates. I keep them clean and oiled. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteWhat can you use if you don't have that particular rub?
ReplyDeleteThe Penzey's rib and chicken rub can be omitted. I just added it because I use it all of the time and have it on hand.
