Ingredients
- 4 pounds of chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons of chicken rub or an even mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce
- 1/4 stick of unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
If dry brining:
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- If dry brining first, lay your chicken wings on a wire rack and onto a baking sheet. Mix kosher salt, brown sugar and cornstarch together and coat both sides of the chicken wings evenly. Place wings into your fridge uncovered for up to 24 hours.
- Preheat your pellet grill to 225 and place chicken wings into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season.
- Smoke wings at 225 °F for 30 minutes then increase the temperature of the grill to 375°F and cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 185°F. This should take 45 minutes to an hour.
- Remove the wings from the grill and prepare buffalo sauce. Melt butter in your microwave for 20-30 seconds and combine with buffalo sauce and sugar. Whisk well to combine.
- Allow buffalo sauce to cool down for 5 minutes before tossing wings in the sauce.
- Serve buffalo wings immediately with ranch, blue cheese, carrots and celery!
