Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 16 chicken wings, tips discarded

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup dry rub for chicken (such as McCormick® Grill Mates®)

  • 1 pound mesquite wood chips, soaked in water

  • 1 (8 ounce) bottle blue cheese salad dressing


Directions

  1. Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil; toss with hands until coated. Coat wings evenly with dry rub.

  2. Light charcoal and heat smoker to 170 to 200 degrees F (77 to 93 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

  3. Drain wood chips and place half of them directly on the charcoal. Spread wings evenly on the cooking grate skin-side down.

  4. Smoke wings until fragrant, about 1 hour.

  5. Flip wings. Add remaining wood chips to the charcoal. Continue smoking until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 1 hour more.

  6. Serve chicken wings with blue cheese dressing.
