Main Ingredients

Pickled Carrot Ribbons

Method

Preparation of Chicken Wings

  1. 1

    Prep the Wings

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season generously with the 49er dry rub, ensuring each wing is well coated.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Wings

    Place the wings on the smoker grates, ensuring they are not touching. Smoke the wings for 2 to 2.5 hours or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Preparation of Pickled Carrot Ribbons

  1. 3

    Prepare the Carrots

    Using a vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into ribbons. Set aside.

  2. 4

    Make the Pickling Liquid

    In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt.

  3. 5

    Pickle the Carrots

    Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the hot pickling liquid over the carrot ribbons in a heatproof jar. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
