Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 4 cups Nacho Cheese Doritos finely crushed
- 2 tbsp Buffalo Ranch seasoning
- 2 eggs
- olive oil cooking spray for misting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, submerge the chicken wings in buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Crush Nacho Cheese Doritos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a Ziploc bag. Mix in the Buffalo Ranch seasoning.
- Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.
- Remove wings from marinade, let excess drip off, and coat in beaten eggs.
- Press wings into Doritos-Buffalo Ranch mixture. For extra crunch, double-dip in egg and crumbs.
- Preheat smoker to 250°F. Use apple or cherry wood for smoke flavor.
- Arrange wings on the smoker rack and mist with cooking spray. Smoke for 1.5 to 2 hours, until wings reach 175°F
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- Blue cheese or Ranch is a MUST. These wings won't taste amazing without dipping them in blue cheese or Ranch (or both). The Doritos crust by its nature is a little "dry" so these wings *need* a dipping sauce.
- Smash the Doritos. Make sure you smash the Doritos into a pulp before dipping the wings into them. I put mine in a Ziploc bag and smashed them up with a kitchen mallet. The finer the Doritos are, the better they'll stick to your wings.
