Smoked Chicken Wings with Buffalo Sauce

Ingredients

• 3 pounds chicken wings
• 1 cup hot sauce
• 1 stick butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 6 sticks fresh celery sticks
• 1 cup blue cheese dressing

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, garlic powder, celery salt, and black pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.

3. 3

   Place the seasoned wings on the smoker racks, ensuring they are not touching each other. Smoke the wings for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

4. 4

   While the wings are smoking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Once the wings are done smoking, increase the smoker temperature to 375°F (190°C) and cook the wings for an additional 15-20 minutes to crisp them up.

6. 6

   Remove the wings from the smoker and place them in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are well coated.

7. 7

   Serve the smoked chicken wings hot with fresh celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.
