Chicken Wings Smoked and Eaten At a Later Date?

[myagentcam]

Hi all. I'm going camping for a week and would like to do some wings to enjoy when I'm there. I need some advice and/or confirmation that my plan will work. I can't bring my smoker to the campground, so I will be cooking them before I leave. I plan to smoke a bunch of wings prior to leaving and then vacuum seal and freeze. Then a couple weeks later thaw and open them up, drop in a deep fryer for a couple minutes to crisp up and eat.

2 questions:

1. Will these taste as good (or very close to it) as freshly cooked, or will it be obvious they were reheated?

2. Is there a better way to do what I'm trying to accomplish?

Thanks everyone!

Never tried it but dont see why your plan wont work,

Quickly heat them up over the campfire assuming you will have a grate to lay them on?

you can smoke them then do a flash deep fry and they are great.

That's what I typically do, except this time I'll be freezing them after the smoke and waiting a couple weeks to thaw fry and eat.

That will work. Smoked then deep fry

Yes, no problem reheating the wings after they were smoked then vacuum sealed then frozen. Once thawed, they are ready for a quick heat up on the campfire grate or in a skillet.
