Smoked Jumbo Chicken Wings Recipes

HICKORY HOUSE SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker for cooking with hickory wood at 240 degrees F.
• Wash and pat dry the wings. Dry-rub the wings with the Hickory House Dry Rub. Place the wings evenly on a smoker rack. Smoke in the smoker until they are golden brown, about 45 minutes. Arrange on a platter and serve with the Blue Cheese Dressing.
• Combine the brown sugar, paprika, cumin, dehydrated garlic, citric acid, celery seed, dill, mustard, black pepper, chile flakes, cayenne and white pepper in a bowl.
• Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, garlic, salt and white pepper in a bowl and stir to mix well. Fold in the blue cheese.

SMOKED JUMBO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker to 310 degrees F.
• Stir together the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, pepper, rosemary, sage, onion powder and salt in a bowl.
• Coat the wings in the rub (save the remainder for another use). Place in the smoker until wings reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Deep-fry wings for 2 to 3 minutes. This makes them crispy on the outside and juicy inside.
• Generously toss wings in Soy Ginger Sauce. Serve Ranch dressing or Alabama sauce on the side to cool the heat from the chiles.
• Blend soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, garlic and fresh ginger in a food processor. Continue to process, slowly adding olive oil until smooth. Add peppers last, then mix.

SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Build a small fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. For a gas grill, turn one of the burners down to low or off, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes.
• Place 2 or 3 handfuls of water-soaked wood chips - like apple, cherry or hickory - onto the coals. For a gas grill, place 2 or 3 handfuls of soaked wood chips onto two large pieces of aluminum foil, then fold the foil over to create a package for the wood. Pierce the top of that package a few times with a fork, then place it on top of the hottest burner on the grill.
• Sprinkle the chicken wings generously with salt and pepper, then place them on the unheated side of the grill, opposite the wood chips. By this point, the chips should be starting to give off smoke. Cover the grill and allow the chicken to smoke for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
• Uncover the grill to release the smoke. At this point, you can move the chicken so it grills directly over the dying charcoal; cook the chicken over a low flame on a gas grill; roast it in a 425-degree oven; or cook it under the broiler until the chicken is crisp and cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. However you do it, baste the chicken occasionally with barbecue sauce and turn it often. Remove the chicken to a warmed platter and serve.
