Smoked Chicken Wings
These are my semi-spicy smoked chicken wings. These wings are flavorful with a nice balance of heat. These are simple to make and will be the hit of the party.

Notes
These are a party favorite. I have made these multiple times and they never last. I use these as a substitute for buffalo wings because they are less messy but still a good kick. I use a combination of woods for this. I use LumberJack Wood Pellets, Supreme blend, which is an Oak, Hickory, Cherry blend. A very universal blend, I use this for just about everything I smoke because it gives a great smokey flavor with a hint of sweet without covering up the natural flavor of the meat and seasonings. I hope you enjoy this recipe, because I know me and my friends love it.
