Smoked Wings
-
gus4416 250 and I highly recommend using a shelf. Since its been colder out my wings have been getting a tad more charred so keep an eye on them.
-
gus4416 Yeah, I can confirm the shelf makes all the difference here. Just getting it that little bit further away from the heat source really helps.
-
What wood do you like to smoke your wings with and for how long?
-
mrobisr I have used Mesquite and Hickory. Both work great. I am just so use to it that I cant really taste the smoke when I use my smoker so I cant tell the difference between the two. Cook time is 2 hours with a flip in the middle.

Wings are my favorite. About all I grill anymore as far as chicken.
Been using Alder wood chips for about the last year. Just imparts a nice woodsy flavor without being overpowering.
15 min each side indirect, 7.5 min each side direct heat just to crisp them up. Add in the 15 min to get the coals ready and in an hour, you’re drooling! -

I usually do them on my drum smoker, about 45 mins at 300 gives them a nice bite on the skin, the meat is still juicy…I freaking love wings. I usually use pecan wood, because I always have it because I use it for everything.

I love smoked wings, but when I am feeling frisky, I like to par smoke/grill the wings and then finish in the fryer. Crispy, smoke flavored wings are out of bounds.

HerbcoFood Next time I was planning on tossing them in that peach glaze then throwing them back on the smoker to get it to caramelize a bit.

HerbcoFood you are dead on with that method. I started doing a crisp in the deep fryer after about a 2 hour smoke and man are they good. I picked it up from a Q shop in Savannah, GA. Its the best way to serve a smoked wing in my humble opinion. I’ve seen a few other restaurants do it the same way, but not many.

GWG8541 Yeah, I actually saw that on Man, Fire, Food or an episode of DDD, I can’t remember. But yeah I haven’t been to a place that does that combo move.
