Equipment
- Smoker
- Meat Thermometer
- Air Fryer Optional
- Deep Fryer Optional
Ingredients
- 2 kg Split chicken wings
- 3-4 tablespoon Chicken Wing Rub of choice
- Spray oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss your chicken wings with as much chicken rub as you like - I usually go about 2 tablespoon per Kg of wings, but it’ll depend on the rub I’m using.
- Once the chicken is evenly coated with rub, transfer to a plastic zip baggie and chill for an hour or two before smoking.
- Arrange the wings on the racks of your smoker, leaving space between each.
- Smoke at 225F (or thereabouts!) for an hour and a half, until internal temperature - measured with a meat thermometer - reaches 165 F.
- Remove from smoker.
- Spray wings with a bit of pan spray / spray oil, and air fry for 5 minutes at 400 F.
- Alternately, deep fry at 375 F for 3-5 minutes. Transfer to paper towel lined baking sheet to absorb excess oil, serve immediately.
