Smoked Chicken Wings - First Try

[Chris_in_SoCal]

Chicken wings were never really my thing. Too much work for too little meat. I wanted to smoke something different this time so wings it was. I recently saw a post on here to smoke it at 225* for 45 minutes then bump it up to around 400*. That is what I did.

I didn't get as much color as I was expecting. Maybe because I only seasoned with SPG. I also only used Hickory. I usually add in a few Red Oak splits.

I tasted one and the skin was nice and crispy so I sauced up a few more. This stuff is so good and not just on wings.

Dinner for one. The wife and niece were away.

Great looking batch of wings, and a nice dinner for one.

Love a good bunch of wings smoked up.

Looks like you nailed it. Cherry wood will provide some color as does a little paprika.

They look pretty tasty.

Looks like a win Chis and I've seen that sauce but haven't tried it...yet!
Did you temp them at the end?

I second using cherry for color. I do mine in the weber kettle. Smoke, direct, sauce, direct.

I really want to do some turkey wings. I had just recently remembered doing some some years ago and they were fantastic. I am so stupid, I had found the best price around here was at Kroger. Popped in last Friday to pick up specific sales and totally forgot to get the wings!

My records show I used pastrami rub and they were outstanding. Think I will repeat that.
