Maple Honey Mustard Smoked Chicken Wings
Juicy wings, infused with smoke and coated in tangy-sweet honey mustard. These are perfect for a tailgate, picnic, or simple Sunday lunch.
Equipment
- Smoker (I use an electric smoker)
- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
- 4 lbs chicken wings patted dry
- 2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- apple wood chips for the smoker
- ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
Maple Honey Mustard
- ⅔ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup 100% pure maple syrup
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- ¼ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your electric smoker to 225 °F and prep with wood chips according to the directions for your model (I prefer Apple wood for chicken wings).
- Season the wings evenly with the black pepper and salt.
- Place the wings on the grates in the smoker and smoke for approximately an hour and a half or until the internal temperature reads 165 °F. Refill wood chips throughout cooking as directed by your model of smoker.Heat your grill over high heat.
- Once the wings reach 165 °F, crisp them by tossing them onto a grill on high heat for 5 minutes, flipping throughout.
- Toss or drizzle with the Maple Honey Mustard, sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve.
