Smoked Fried Wings

Recipe Details

Author Meat Church
Prep Time 8 hours to overnight (air-dry)
Cook Time about 3 hours 3 minutes

Summary

Juicy, wood-smoked chicken wings seasoned with The Gospel rub, flash-fried for shatteringly crisp skin, then tossed in a buttery Frank’s hot sauce for a bold, smoky-heat finish.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Lay wings on a wire rack and refrigerate uncovered for 8 hours or up to overnight to dry the skin.

  2. 2

    Preheat smoker to 225°F. Use oak/hickory pellets or wood; mesquite or pecan also work.

  3. 3

    Remove wings from the fridge and season generously on all sides with Meat Church The Gospel seasoning.

  4. 4

    Place wings in the smoker and cook until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (about 3 hours, depending on your smoker).

  5. 5

    Heat peanut oil in a large pot to 350°F.

  6. 6

    Carefully lower smoked wings into the hot oil and fry for about 3 minutes, or until your desired crispiness. Drain briefly.

  7. 7

    Melt the butter and mix with Frank’s Hot Sauce to make the wing sauce.

  8. 8

    Place wings in a bowl, pour over sauce, and toss to coat evenly.

  9. 9

    Garnish with celery and carrots; serve with ranch dressing or blue cheese.
