Smokey Cajun Wings Recipes

SMOKEY CAJUN WINGS

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 425-F. Put the wings in a large bowl & drizzle the liquid smoke seasoning on them and mix well.
• 2. In a separate bowl, mix all of the dry spices together. Pour them over the wings and mix well.
• 3. Place the wings onto wire racks with cookie sheets underneath to catch any drippings. (I line my cookie sheets with foil for easy clean up). After 30 minutes, turn the wings over and bake for about 10-15 minutes more or until they are slightly crispy and golden brown. Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Enjoy.

• Light charcoal and heat smoker to 170 to 200 degrees F (77 to 93 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Drain wood chips and place half of them directly on the charcoal. Spread wings evenly on the cooking grate skin-side down.

SMOKED CHICKEN HOT WINGS

Steps:

• Heat a smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.
• Mix 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl to make dry rub. Sprinkle over chicken wings.
• Cook chicken wings in the preheated smoker until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hour.
• Combine hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until butter is melted and sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Transfer smoked wings to a large bowl; stir in 1/2 of the sauce until wings are evenly coated.
• Grill coated wings until skin is browned and starting to get crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining sauce until wings are well-coated.
