Smoker Method:

Pre-Heat Smoker using Apple and Mesquite (My Choice, you can use whatever you like).

Lower heat to 275*

Pan up your wings and place in smoker for approx. 2 plus hours until 2/3 cooked.

Baste wings with juice in pan and remove to smoker racks for direct smoking.

Smoke for approx... one more hour with heat lowered to 250*

Coat wings with BBQ Sauce mixture and cook for approx... one more hour using an apple juice spray at the 30 minute Mark to add moisture.

Make sure you turn wings over during this direct cooking time to brown on both sides.

Remove to large platter and let rest for about 15-20 minutes.

Dig in and enjoy these Bad Boys with an ice cold bottle of Negro Modelo some BBQ Beans, Potato Salad and Chips.

Great for the game or any type of get together or simply a family dinner if you wish to spoil the loved ones!!!

Oven and grill Method

Pre-Heat oven to 250*

Pan up wings and place in oven for approx... one hour or until 2/3 done.

Make sure you baste with pan drippings at the 30 minute mark to retain moisture.

Fire up the grill with enough cooking space to accommodate all your wings.

I prefer a charcoal grill but you use whatever is more comfortable to you.

Place on grill skin side up and coo for approx... 15-20 minutes, spray one time with apple juice to retain moisture.

Flip wings and cook for another 10 minutes, spray again for this side.

Flip wings again so skin side is up and brush baste with BBQ Sauce making sure they are well coated.

Cook approx... 10-12 minutes until sauce begins to glaze.

Flip wings and apply BBQ sauce to underside.

Cook this way for about 10 minute and flip again.

Coat wings with remainder of sauce and remove to platter.

Let rest for 15 minutes.

Great for the game or any type of get together or simply a family dinner if you wish to spoil the loved ones!!!

I encourage you to play around with this recipe to make it yours. It’s a lot of fun and it never comes out wrong unless you get too carried with the Hot Sauce. I suggest putting out the bottle of Hot Sauce with the meal so everyone can adjust to their personal taste…

ENJOY!
