“Red, White, and Blue” Smoked Wings – Independence Day Recipe!

I always start out with dry wings. 

Pat them down with a paper towel.

I use a simple dry brine of kosher salt on all sides of my wings and place them on a wire rack over another pan. 

Place brined wings in the fridge overnight.

Apply your favorite rub on all sides of the wings

Set your smoker to 250-275 using your favorite wood (I’d recommend a fruit wood like cherry or apple with poultry) 

Place wings in smoker and let them run for 45 mins to an hour flipping halfway through. 

Enjoy with one of these Red, White, or Blue sauces or use your favorite sauces!
