Ingredients

  • 2.5-3 lbs. chicken wings or drumettes
  • 2-3 squirts of yellow mustard to coat the wings
  • 1/3 c. of your favorite rub I used Sucklebuster’s Clucker Dust
  • 1 batch of Easy Strawberry Barbecue Sauce linked below.

Instructions

  • Wash the chicken wings and dry well with a paper towel. Add the wings to a large bowl, and toss well with yellow mustard to use as a binder. Sprinkle rubs liberally on the chicken, tossing well. You may need additional rub depending on how many wings you have prepared.
  • Heat your smoker to 225-250 degrees. Place the wings on the smoker and close.
  • After 1.5-2 hrs, check the wings. Internal temperature should be approaching 140-165 degrees depending on your particular smoker.
  • When the wings are about 160 degrees, coat well with the strawberry barbecue sauce.
  • Let the wings continue to cook until the sauce is set, and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  • (Chicken wings can continue to cook to 180 degrees and still be very tender. I prefer to sauce the wings right before pulling them off the smoker so that the sauce does not absorb smoke, which can make the coating taste bitter.)
