    Easy Smoked Chicken Wings

    I hadn’t planned on adding this recipe to the blog quite so soon, but after posting the pictures of these on my Instagram story last night, I had TONS of requests to share, therefore I knew I had to get it posted ASAP!

    My hubby and I went grocery shopping yesterday morning. Lately, our grocery store has been picked over in the meat department. However, yesterday morning, they were just about fully stocked.

    My hubby is one of those guys that can be TERRIBLE to bring to the store. The grocery bill almost always ends up way higher than expected and things are added to the cart we most definitely don’t need.

    Yesterday however, he made a great addition! Chicken wings were on sale, and he ended up grabbing two packs.

    Truth be told, he had never made wings, nor had I ever had any. Yes, in my whole life, all 33 years, I had never had a chicken wing.

    Boneless wings, yes, but bone in….nope. I typically avoided them due to too much work. I didn’t want to eat around a bone, run into fat piece, etc.

    When we got home and I noticed the packages of wings, I decided to keep an open mind and give them a try.

    Trying Smoked Chicken Wings

    My hubby prepared them and put them on the smoker in the afternoon. A few short hours later, he pulled them off and we enjoyed them with some sweet corn.

    We all went NUTS over these! My oldest kiddo must have plowed through 6 of them in under 5 minutes. Packed with flavor, crispy skin, and tender chicken!

    I can’t wait to enjoy the second pack of these Smoked Chicken Wings in the next few weeks!

    Serve for a get together, party, or for family and these will be enjoyed by all! Check out my other smoker recipes HERE!
