Here is a EZ recipe for smoked buffalo wings that nobody can screw up. I did these the other night along with some stuffed Jalapeños (see vegetable forum) and they were the bomb!
Smoked Buffalo Wing Recipe
- 1 bag of frozen buffalo wings (I used 2 to 3 lbs bag of Target brand)
- Thaw Wings
- Spray Racks w/ non stick spray
- Smoke at high temp for 2 hours with your favorite flavor bisquette (I prefer cherry)
- Cook/Smoke for an additional 1 hour on high heat
- ENJOY!
I haven't done wings yet but I am very interested. Do they need put on a grill to crisp up at the end or is the skin ok in the smoker?

They were done entirely in the smoker. I don't enjoy rubbery chicken, hence the additional cooking time. You probably know where the hot spots are located in your smoker already, so rotate your meat as necessary.
Will have to try
Typically I take fresh wings, toss in Franks Red Sauce & butter
Onto smoking rack
Smoke at 200 for 3 hrs with pecan
Fight off everyone as they try and take my wings ;)
Enjoy

mine have come out dried crispy skin and not at all rubbery
Scotty, are you using the Frank's original or the Frank's Wing Sauce?
Yes,
If I use Franks Wing Sauce, I use it straight
If I use Franks Original, I use half the amount of butter that the receipe on the bottle calls for
Ok, Scotty you are juiceing your wings before going into the smoker? I gotta try this! What quantity of wings hage you done this way?
2 dozen wings, tips cut off and then cut into 2 pieces (48 "wings" in all)
Typically I put the pieces into a gallon size zip lock, fill with sauce, slightly inflate bag and seal.
Then shake to coat, let sit in the bag until smoker is warmed up, onto trays (I now use smoking liner but before I sprayed with PAM) and into the smoker.
Ok, Scotty I'm gonna try your wings while some baby backs are smoking on Sunday. Gotta find the Franks Hot Sauce, I think Safeway has it but not sure. Will report back.
Most grocery stores carry Franks.
I usually buy it at Safeway
Let us know how it comes out.
