Smoked Chicken Hot Wings Recipe

  • Dry Rub:
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings
  • Sauce:
  • 2/3 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
  1. Heat a smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.
  2. Mix 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl to make dry rub. Sprinkle over chicken wings.
  3. Cook chicken wings in the preheated smoker until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hour.
  4. 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. Remove from heat.
  5. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  6. Transfer smoked wings to a large bowl; stir in 1/2 of the sauce until wings are evenly coated.
  7. Grill coated wings until skin is browned and starting to get crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining sauce until wings are well-coated.
