First try at Wings

[nekramp]

I have smoked something every weekend all summer and this past week it dawned on me that i have never smoked wings! And I LOVE wings.  So i bought some Tyson wings at wally world and gave it a try.  I injected each wing with Franks Red Hot and covered them in McCormicks Grill Mates chicken rub, than into the smoker at 290 for 2 1/2 Hours.

The wings were amazing, some of the best that i have ever had.  They were a little on the dry side so next time i'll take them off a few minutes sooner. But man o man they were good.  Wish i would have gotten more pictures but i was too busy eating!

those are some good looking wings, the franks injection sounds amazing!!! so did you just go straight on the grate for smoking, also did you take a internal temp. sorry about the questions yours look so good I am probably going to buying some wings real soon thanks.

Mike,

I thawed the wings out in some cold water in a ziplock bag for a hour or so than they went straight to the grate where i injected them and put the seasoning on them.  I did not take an internal temp, i could tell when i touched them that they were a little dry inside so i knew they were done.  Also cooking them at 290ish got the skin nice and crispy!

Love some smoked wings! I brush mine with some Dale's seasoning. Terrific!

If they were a little dry, try mixing the Franks with some creole butter next time. I mix about 1/3 creole butter to 2/3 Franks (or whatever hot sauce I'm in the mood for) and they always come out very juicy.

I can vouch for this recipe - just did 4 dozen at the So Cal Gathering and they were gone fast
