Smoked Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dressing

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Smoked Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dressing.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious smoked chicken wings, grab a large bowl and toss in your chicken wings along with a generous drizzle of olive oil.

2. Step 2

   Use your hands to mix them up, ensuring every wing is beautifully coated in that rich oil.

3. Step 3

   Next, sprinkle your favorite dry rub over the wings and give them another good toss, making sure they’re well covered in those flavorful spices.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to prepare your smoker.

5. Step 5

   Light the charcoal and heat it up to a cozy temperature between 170 to 200 degrees F (that’s about 77 to 93 degrees C) following the instructions for your specific smoker.

6. Step 6

   Once your smoker is ready, take the soaked wood chips, drain them, and place half of them right onto the hot charcoal for that perfect smoky flavor.

7. Step 7

   Carefully arrange the chicken wings on the cooking grate, skin-side down, and close the lid of the smoker.

8. Step 8

   Let those wings smoke for about an hour, allowing the enticing aroma to fill the air.

   After an hour, it’s time for a little flip! Gently turn the wings over and add the remaining wood chips to the charcoal to keep that smoky goodness going strong.

10. Step 10

    Continue smoking until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (or 74 degrees C), which should take about another hour.
