I first cooked this wing recipe
for a potluck and posted the
info and pictures on Facebook.
This led to folks requesting a
recipe page and video. This is a
very solid recipe that is
extremely easy to make. This
recipe does require you to
purchase a specific rub and a
specific sauce. I can guarantee
it won't be the same without
these two components..
The first thing to do is
pre-heat your cooker to 240
degrees. In this cook I'm
cooking on my Yoder YS640 using
Bear Mountain Washington Apple wood pellets.
Next we will prepare the
chicken. Start by rinsing
3 to3.5 pounds of party wings.
These are wings pre cut up. If
your store doesn't carry them
then buy the regular wings and
cut them up yourself. Pat them
dry and place them into a large
bowl. I tend to put all the
drumstick pieces in and season
them followed by the remaining
pieces. I do this because I
place all the drumsticks on one
smoking rack and the others on
to a second rack. I then place
the thicker meat near the hotter
end of my cooker.
Pour in some extra virgin
olive oil and one Tsp. minced
garlic over 1/2 the wings in a
large bowl. Mix the
chicken wings in the oil
and garlic thoroughly so all pieces are
coated. Shake on some Mad Hunky
Hot Ass Whang rub to taste. Place the chicken onto
a smoking rack with the rub
coated side down. Apply the rub
to the uncoated side of the
wings. Repeat
these steps for the remaining
chicken pieces.
Once the chicken is seasoned
and placed on the smoking racks,
place them into the center of
your pre-heated smoker. Cook for
one hour.
After one hour flip the
chicken pieces. and continue to
cook until the chicken reaches
160 degrees.
Once the chicken reaches 160
degrees, mop the chicken pieces
liberally with Tiger Sauce. Continue cooking
until the internal temperature
reaches 165 degrees. Flip the chicken and mop the
other side with the Tiger Sauce.
Continue until the chicken
wings reach 175 degrees. I take
them to 175 degrees so the meat
falls off the bone with
each bite. I don't like wings
that are rubbery or chewy. Once
the wings reach 175 degrees, give the chicken pieces
one more mopping with Tiger
Sauce.
When the chicken reaches 175 degrees it's time to
remove it from the cooker. Place
your favorite dipping sauce in a
small dish and serve with your
with. Your chicken wings should
have amazing color,
flavor and a nice heat. The meat
should fall off the bone with
each bite.
I hope you enjoy this recipe
as much as we did.
