Dalie's Smokehouse Smoked Chicken Wings

Ingredients 

10 lbs. Chicken Wings - Jumbo, disjointed

2 cups - Dalie's Smokehouse Maverick Rub 

2 cups - Dalie's Smokehouse Cranberry Cayenne Seasoning 

Prep Immediately before cooking 

  1. Place wings in a perforated Lexan pan. Clean and rinse under cold running water. 
  2. Allow the wings to drain well. 
  3. Place 5 lbs of wings at a time into a 12" mixing bowl and add 1 cup of Maverick Rub. 
  4. Toss wings to coat evenly with the rub. 
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining wings.

Smoke the wings for 1 to 1 ½ hours

  1. Starting with the top rack of the rotisserie, place seasoned wings directly on the smoker's rotisserie rack. Do not overlap wings.
  2. Set the smoker at 250 degrees and add one stick of fruit wood for smoking. 
  3. Set the timer for 90 minutes. 
  4. Using a stemmed thermometer, check for a cooked temperature of 165 degrees. Check the thickest part of the drummies and the largest wings.  
  5. Leave the wings on the smoker and check every 15 minutes if the wings still need to be cooked. 

Finish the wings

  1. Place wings in a single layer on a sheet tray. 
  2. Crisp the wings with a roofing torch in a slow, sweeping motion.
  3. Flip the wings and repeat step 2. 
  4. When finished, toss in Dalie's Smokehouse Cranberry Cayenne sauce. 

Dalie's Smokehouse, located at Big Bend and Dougherty Ferry Road, has rubs, spices, and sauces to bring the best BBQ in St. Louis directly to your backyard.
