I really don’t want to hear about how fried wings are better.\u00a0 I know that.\u00a0 Everyone knows that.<\/p>\n

If you genuinely love food and don’t care about fat, isn’t everything better when cooked in a vat of oil?\u00a0 The answer is yes.\u00a0 It’s always yes.\u00a0 Donuts, Funnel cakes, french fries, mozzarella sticks, onion rings…and yes, even chicken.<\/p>\n

But let’s set that empirical fact aside and say that we actually DO care a little about our health and we DON’T want to fry everything…and remember this is a BBQ site, not a Crisco fan page.\u00a0 If we accept that, then I think you will accept these wings are absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n

The part that makes chicken wings delicious is the sauce.\u00a0 The sauce matters more than any other step.\u00a0 Don’t argue, this again just needs to be accepted as fact.\u00a0 This buffalo sauce recipe is generously shared by one of my extremely talented SLABS a’ Smokin teammates, Forrest.\u00a0 He knows chicken wings like no one I’ve ever met.\u00a0 He’s competed and done well, so trust me when I tell you this sauce is worth a try.<\/p>\n

\"Smoked

I started with a simple marinade of olive oil\/salt\/pepper.\u00a0 I let them set in there for a couple hours<\/a>, but you could do as little as 30 minutes or not at all.\u00a0 if you wanted a more flavorful, complex marinade then check out this recipe for Marinated and Grilled Chicken Wings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then I moved to smoking, as I always do.\u00a0 I personally think adding the smokey flavor profile to wings changes their deliciousness in an unbeatable way.\u00a0 But I may be biased.\u00a0 I used a mix of hickory and apple and loved the results.<\/p>\n
