Smoked Wings

Ingredients:

• Chicken wings (4 lbs)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Woo Pig BBQ Southern Charm All Purpose
• Woo Pig BBQ Backroads Brisket
• Wood chunks for smoking (hickory or applewood work well)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Wings:

   • Remove wings from the package and trim away excess skin. Clean wings free of excess feathers, etc. 
   • Pat each wing dry with some paper towels and place wings in a large bowl or resealable bag.
   • Lightly Drizzle olive oil over the wings and toss wings to ensure a very light coating is on each wing. 
   • Place wings out on a sheet pan with wire rack and season each wing with your favorite seasonings. We usually do three different flavors using our favorite Woo Pig BBQ ribs.
   • Place in the fridge uncovered and let them soak in the seasoning for 4 hours (overnight is preferred)

2. Prepare the Smoker:

   • Preheat your smoker to 275°F. Apple wood and hickory are our favorites for wings.

3. Smoke the Wings:

   • Remove the wings from the fridge and place them on the smoker grates.

4. Slow Smoke:

   • Smoke the wings for 2 hours or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Adjust the smoker temperature as needed to maintain a steady smoke.

5. Crisp the Skin (Optional):

   • If you prefer crispier skin, you can transfer the smoked wings to a preheated grill or oven (broiler)  for 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once done, serve the smoked wings hot. You can pair them with your favorite dipping sauces.

These smoked wings deliver a delicious combination of smoky, savory, and slightly sweet flavors. Adjust seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
