Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 Tbsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp seasoned salt
  • 5 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup spicy BBQ Sauce
  • 3 Tbsp apple juice

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, onion powder, chili powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Place the chicken in a large resealable bag. Pour the spice mixture into the bag and shake to coat the wings well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Load the wood tray with one small handful of wood chips and preheat the smoker to 225, Place the wings on the top rack of the smoker, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Turn wings and cook for another 25 to 30 minutes or until done.

While the wings are cooking, mix the honey, BBQ Sauce, and apple juice together in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until warmed through. Remove the wings from the smoker and place in a disposable aluminum pan. Pour the warm sauce over the wings and toss to evenly coat. Return pan to smoker on middle rack and cook wings for another 25 minutes. Remove from the smoker and serve immediately.
