    I've tried all types of grilled wings, sous vide then grilled, baked, you name it. Occasionally we'd get great results, but they were never repeatable. That changed when my habit of watching YouTube videos brought us to Malcom Reed. After making his Smoked Party Wings I knew we were close. After a little trial and error we finally had Spicy Smoked Chicken Wings!

    This recipe is our modification on Malcom's Smoked Party Wings. I recommend you watch his video and decide what parts of each might work for you!

    Get ready for yum!

    This wings do not disappoint! One bite into the flavorful skin and you'll soon have one in each hand. The marinade provides a flavor profile that sinks deep into the meat. Then the dry rub provides a fresh pop to the skin. Speaking of the skin, the slightly warmer temp of this smoke allows the skin to dry and get a nice bite. Not to mention that beautiful color! Once you get past that awesome skin just the meat just slides off the bone in a way that fried wings just can not compete with!

    These Spicy Smoked Chicken Wings work great as an appetizer or as a meal, be prepared to have at least a pound per person as these are so easy to eat they absolutely disappear. And while not necessarily clean, they're not nearly as messy as eating traditional buffalo wings, but should satisfy any buffalo wing fan! Left overs are good cold, reheated in the oven, or turned into a rich a smokey chicken stock!

    If you really want to make this pop serve with some of our White BBQ Sauce!

    These wings are delicious and this recipe is the most consistent wing recipe I've ever made. On bite and you'll be making this a weekend staple!

      These are the best wings! Juicy and crispy with a nice punch of real spices. The white BBQ sauce just makes it heavenly!
