Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings Dry Rub: 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper 1 ½ teaspoons Cajun seasoning 2 ½ pounds chicken wings Sauce: ⅔ cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot) ½ cup butter 1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder 1 pinch salt to taste Directions Gather all ingredients. Heat a smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's directions. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios To make the dry rub: Mix 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl; sprinkle over chicken wings. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Place chicken wings, unstacked, onto wire racks. Place the racks into the smoker. Add wood chips according to the manufacturer's directions; smoke chicken wings in the preheated smoker for 1 hour. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios To make the sauce: Combine hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until butter is melted and sauce is smooth; set aside. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Transfer smoked wings to a large bowl; stir in 1/2 of the sauce until wings are evenly coated. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Cook wings on the preheated grill until skin is browned and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining sauce until wings are well coated. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Cook’s Note I like to use hickory wood, but you can use whatever you have. Editor's Note: Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of dry rub and sauce.
