Smoked Chicken Hot Wings

Step 1

Heat a smoker to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.

Step 2

Mix 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl to make dry rub. Sprinkle over chicken wings.

Step 3

Cook chicken wings in the preheated smoker until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hour.

Step 4

Combine hot pepper sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until butter is melted and sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 6

Transfer smoked wings to a large bowl; stir in 1/2 of the sauce until wings are evenly coated.

Step 7

Grill coated wings until skin is browned and starting to get crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in remaining sauce until wings are well-coated.
