Wings

Method

Prep the Wings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

    Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the wings in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Wings

    Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the bowl. Toss the wings thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated.

Make the Smoked Ale Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the beer, barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and hot sauce (if using).

  2. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Heat the saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then reduce to low and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Smoke the Wings

  1. 5

    Prepare the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) using your choice of wood chips.

  2. 6

    Smoke the Wings

    Place the seasoned chicken wings in the smoker and smoke for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Glaze and Serve

  1. 7

    Glaze the Wings

    During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the wings with the smoked ale sauce, coating them well.

  2. 8

    Serve the Wings

    Remove the wings from the smoker, let them rest for a few minutes, then serve with extra smoked ale sauce on the side.
