Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken wings
- 1 gallon chicken brine (without Cure #1)
Instructions
- Prepare 1 gallon of chicken brine. The brine must be below 40F when adding chicken wings. Add the wings to the brine, and refrigerate for 1.5 hours.
- Preheat the smoker to 225F.
- Remove the wings from the brine and dry with paper towels.
- Smoke the wings over indirect heat for 2 hours or until they reach 185F - 190F internal temperature and have a rich, golden-brown color.
- If you want crispier-skinned wings, smoke at 300F for about 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Remove from the smoker and serve immediately with your favorite side dish.
