Ingredienser

5 lbs chicken wings (raw, thawed if purchased frozen)

1/4 cup dry rub (of your choice)

1 1/2 cups wing sauce (buffalo, BBQ, etc.)

ranch dressing (or bleu cheese dressing, optional)

celery sticks (optional)

Vejledning

Remove chicken wings from original packaging and place on a paper towel lined sheet pan. Place in refrigerator to dry out, uncovered for anywhere from a few hours to overnight*.

Preheat smoker to 225° F. Follow smoker instructions for startup. I used my Traeger Ironwood Pellet Grill with Hickory Wood Pellets, but chicken does well with almost any wood flavor.

Generously sprinkle dry rub of choice on both sides of chicken wings.

Place wings directly on grill grates and smoke for 1 hour**.

After 1 hour, crank heat up to 350° F for 30 min or until wings reach an internal temperature of at least 160° F***.

Meanwhile, prepare your wing sauce of choice and preheat your searing source (either a gas grill or flat top grill, like the Blackstone) to a very high heat. We want the next step (reverse searing) to go very quickly so we don't overcook our wings.

Toss nearly fully cooked wings in sauce. A large bowl is perfect for this as you can swirl them around to get fully coated.

Place sauced wings on hot grill and sear on both sides. This should only take a minute or so per side or until internal temperature reads 165° F.

Remove from grill and serve immediately with ranch or bleu cheese, plus celery if desired.

Notater

I marinated in teriyaki sauce.

Use any marinade or sauce you want, most important was the method used in this that worked perfectly. 225 for 30 minutes to an hour and then crank to higher heat until finished all while flipping half way through
