0-400 Smoked Wings Ingredients

  • Chicken wings (1 pound). I love the Bell & Evans brand. I get mine pre-cut, so the flats and drums are already separated. 
  • Seasoning (2 tbsp). Just use your favorite seasoning here. I like salt, pepper, and garlic, and also my homemade wings rub.
  • Wing sauce (1/2 cup). Again, use your favorite wing sauce here. For this cook, I did one batch in my homemade buffalo sauce, and one in my BBQ sauce.
  • Blue cheese dressing (1 cup). You can't have smoked wings without my homemade blue cheese dipping sauce.

0-400 Smoked Wings Recipe Instructions

1. Season the wings

Season your wings liberally. You can also add a tablespoon of baking powder to your rub for extra crispiness.

2. Refrigerate the wings

Toss your wings in the fridge for at least an hour, and up to four hours. This allows the seasoning to get into the meat.

3. Place the wings on your cold smoker

After an hour on your smoker, remove the wings and sauce them. Add them to a large bowl, add your sauce, and mix well.

7. Return the wings to the smoker

Add your sauced wings back on your smoker for another five minutes. This will allow the sauce to adhere to the chicken a little better.

8. Remove wings from the smoker, and enjoy

  1. Wouldn’t that depend upon outside temp. Grill slower to 400 then in the summer. Was just wondering if that is a factor ?
