Description

Smoky and sweet chicken wings with a maple BBQ glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wood chips for smoking (hickory or applewood recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to make the glaze.
  3. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
  4. Place the chicken wings directly on the smoker grates.
  5. Smoke the wings for 2 to 3 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the wings generously with the maple BBQ glaze.
  7. Continue smoking until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
  8. Remove wings from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For crispier wings, you can broil them for a few minutes after glazing.
  • Adjust the sweetness and spice of the glaze to your preference.
