Recipe by Lisa Holmen
If you are getting bored with your usual meat and vegetables this Winter, a simple way to add some extra flavour is by changing the cooking method. These Hickory Smoked Wings were prepared using a smoker from Bunnings, which creates a tender result with a beautiful brown colouring and warm smoky flavour. Smokers are as simple to use as a BBQ but they pack an extra punch when it comes to flavour – try smoking corn on the cob as a side dish served with a pinch of salt and butter.
Ingredients
1kg free range boomerang chicken wings
4 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
200ml Sweet Baby Ray’s Hickory & Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce
Method
- Fill the Fornetto Charcoal Starter Chimney and ignite the charcoal and let burn until they are all glowing and showing an ash outer.
- While fuel is burning, layer more fuel around the charcoal basket using the minion method.
- Add hickory chips around the top of the fuel and pour the hot fuel into the centre.
- Add boiling water to pan (optional) if you want chicken wings to be slow cooked for longer.
- Assemble the smoker with lid on open on all upper and lower vents. Pre heat until the smoker gets up to 120 degrees C.
- While smoker is heating up, combine the dry ingredients into a large shallow bowl and coat the chicken wings with the dry rub.
- Place chicken wings in smoker and cook for approximately 2 hours. To get the temperature up higher you can open the bottom door.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the wings with the Hickory and Brown Sugar Sauce and cook for another 5 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve immediately.
