Ingredients:

  • A dash of salt
  • A dash of pepper
  • Garlic mix (Consists of 4 parts Kosher salt, 2 parts restaurant grind black pepper, and 1 part granulated garlic)

Instruction:

  1. Get your pellet smoker running and up to 225°F. Use whatever flavor wood pellets you enjoy.
  2. Load up your wings.  This is the smoking part. Your pellet grill will impart more smoke flavor at a lower temp.
  3. Smoke these wings at 225° for about 30 minutes.
  4. Take your pellet grill temperature up to 350°F for the roasting step.  This high temperature will crisp up the skin and render out the fat that’s in the wings.  This step will take 30-50 minutes. I know that’s a wide gap but BBQ and grilling is more by temperature than time.  You will want to cook these wings until they have an internal temperature of at least 165°f.  I like to take my wings up to 170 to 180 degrees.  The added temp really helps give a nice texture to the skin.
  5. As your wings start to approach your finish temperature be ready to take them off as they finish.  There’s a good chance some will finish before others due to their inconsistent size.
  6. Place them in a pan and keep that covered in foil.
  7. Once done you wings are ready to enjoy as is or dressed up with a multitude of sauces.  BBQ, teriyaki, Buffalo style and on and on. The only limit is your imagination.
