I had friends in from Montana who have been very kind to me. I wanted to make an appetizer I was sure would be wonderful and Scarbelly Wings came to mind immediately. They are a great wing named after a great SMF member who is no longer with us.

I have changed the recipe marginally to meet tamer Canadian sensibilities.

I mixed 1/4 cup of Cajun Injection Creole Butter with 1/4 cup of Frank's Red Hot sauce. This is less hot sauce than the original recipe. I injected some of the sauce into each of 15 wing segments.



I poured the remaining sauce over the wings.


I used my own Creole Seasoning (see http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/253192/creole-burnt-ends) instead of the commercial seasoning in the original recipe. I sprinkled that over the wings.



I used a hotter temperature in my pellet smoker than the original recipe. I preheated it to 350 F and cooked the wings for 50 minutes, turning once.


Here is the finished product.


The Verdict

These were a great hit. There is a reason Scarbelly Wings are a staple on SMF. The skin was crisp, the spice was warm but not burning and the chicken was moist.

Keep up the good work my friend and Merry Christmas.
Thanks, Red! I wish I did come up with these, they are brilliant!

As for people from Montana, I have been curling there and they have come here. I have met nothing but kind people of great wit and intelligence. No argument from me that they are nice!

I wish you a very merry Christmas and hope there is much joy in your New Year!

One of our favorite recipes!

Looks great Disco!

RIP Gary!
Sometimes I think we forget how much there is to learn on SMF and take it for granted. I love this smoke and think it is a great memorial to Gary.

Oh hey, these look tasty. This is a different method than what I use (injecting sauce before cooking), I'll have to give this a try this spring. My wife and kids love BBQ'd chicken.

I think you will like them. There is a reason they are so popular on the forums.
 
Not trying to drop in on a old thread but i was searching for a wing recipe for new years and i just found it! I'm doing half with franks and the creole butter injection and then the other half with sweet baby rays and the creole butter ( as an experiment)
 
Thanks for bringing this up had not seen it before. There is so much info on this forum that one would proably never see it all.
