INGREDIENTS
  • 5 pounds (2.28 kg) chicken wings
FOR THE MARINADE
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 clove garlic – minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chipotle powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
SMOKED BLUE CHEESE DIP

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon onion, grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup smoked blue cheese, crumbled
DIRECTIONS
  1. For use with your Broil King Pellet Grill or Keg! Turn your Broil King® Pellet grill on then set the grill to 275°F (135°C). Follow the standard start-up instructions and preheat the grill completely. Light the Broil King® Keg and adjust the settings for a constant temperature of 275°F (135°C). Do not use a diffuser pan. Scatter soaked wood chips over the coals.
  2. Cut each wing at the joint to make two pieces, and discard the tip. In a large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, garlic, spices, and vinegar. Add chicken wings and toss to coat.
  3. Place the chicken wings on the cooking grate, using the warming rack too if needed. After 1/2 hour, move the wings around for even cooking. Continue to smoke for another 1/2 hour to an hour, until cooked through and slightly browned.
  4. Turn up the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and brown the outsides of the chicken wings.
  5. Serve with assorted raw vegetables. Mix the dip ingredients together in a medium bowl and cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to develop the flavors.
