Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Instructions: In a large bowl, mix 1/4 cup Frank's RedHot Original Sauce with 2 tablespoons Wildfire Sweet, Bold, & Spicy Rub to create a marinade
  2. Coat 1.5 pounds of chicken wings (about 15 wings) with the marinade, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
  3. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C), fill the water tray with 1 cup beer, and add 2 sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary
  4. Place the marinated wings on the smoker grate, ensuring they are spaced apart, and smoke for 1.5 to 2 hours until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)
  5. For extra crispiness, either transfer the wings to a preheated oven at 425°F (218°C) and bake for 10-15 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy, or increase the smoker temperature to 375°F (190°C) for the last 15-20 minutes of cooking
  6. Remove the wings from the oven or smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes
  7. Place the wings on a serving platter and pair with your favorite dipping sauce, enjoying the smoky, spicy, and sweet flavors.
