Chicken Wings – As many as you want.
DIRECTIONS:
The RUB
1. First, season your chicken wings with Montreal Seasoning and BBQ Rub make sure you shake well and coat the wings so you can still see the chicken skin through the rub.
The SAUCE
2. Lemon Butter Sauce is made with 1 stick of Unsalted Butter and 2 tablespoons of Lemon Juice (add more butter for more wings or more lemon juice for more tang)
The COOK
3. After the wings are seasoned, they are traditionally smoked to perfection. Smoking the wings adds an incredible depth of flavour and creates a tender and juicy texture. The smoking process can be done using a variety of methods, such as using an offset, charcoal or wood pellet smoker, or even a BBQ. The choice of wood chips or chunks also contributes to the overall flavour profile of the wings. Popular choices include hickory, mesquite, or fruitwoods like apple or cherry.
4. During the smoking process, the wings are cooked slowly over low heat, allowing the flavours to penetrate the meat while infusing it with a smoky essence. This slow cooking also helps render the fat and crisp up the skin, creating a mouth-watering combination of juicy meat and a crispy exterior.
The FINISH
5. Easy Toss or dip (your choice) in Lemon Butter Sauce. It's that easy! Serve and ENJOY!
