Best Hickory Smoked Chicken Wings With Jerk Sauce And Lime Recipes

HICKORY HOUSE SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker for cooking with hickory wood at 240 degrees F.
• Wash and pat dry the wings. Dry-rub the wings with the Hickory House Dry Rub. Place the wings evenly on a smoker rack. Smoke in the smoker until they are golden brown, about 45 minutes. Arrange on a platter and serve with the Blue Cheese Dressing.
• Combine the brown sugar, paprika, cumin, dehydrated garlic, citric acid, celery seed, dill, mustard, black pepper, chile flakes, cayenne and white pepper in a bowl.
• Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, garlic, salt and white pepper in a bowl and stir to mix well. Fold in the blue cheese.

SMOKED JERK CHICKEN WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken wings in cold water, then drain and set aside. In a large, lidded storage container whisk together 2 cups hot tap water, the salt and sugar. Add the beer, Worcestershire, peppercorns and 2 cups cold tap water. Whisk the brine briefly to mix the flavorings together. Add the wings to the brine, adding more cold water if needed to cover. Put the lid on and store them in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Rinse the wings thoroughly in cold water to remove any clinging peppercorns. Lay the rinsed wings on a rack to be placed in a smoker.
• If using hickory chips, soak in water for 30 minutes prior to use. If using logs, use dry logs. Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees F.
• Hot smoke the wings for 1 hour 30 minutes. After smoking you can throw them immediately into frying oil or store for later use.
• Pour the oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Place 6 to 8 smoked wings in at a time and cook for about 4 minutes (if you want a crispier skin, fry longer). Be careful when removing the wings, as they are extremely hot. Place the hot wings in a heat resistant bowl and toss with some Jerk Seasoning. Place the jerked wings on a plate with four celery sticks and a couple ounces of the Blue Cheese Dressing to serve. Repeat for the remaining wings.
• In a bowl combine the garlic powder, cayenne, black pepper, salt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, thyme, allspice, chili powder, cinnamon and cloves. Mix thoroughly and store in a shaker for easy use. If not using immediately, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
• Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, onions, beer, vinegar, pepper, salt, blue cheese and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until mixed, about six 2-second pulses.

HICKORY-SMOKED JERK CHICKEN WINGS WITH PICKLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Make the marinade for the wings: Puree the cilantro, thyme, onion, garlic, chiles, lime juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cumin and 2 teaspoons salt in a blender until smooth. Put the chicken wings in a large bowl and pour in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Make the pickled pineapple: Combine the vinegar and sugar in a large saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime, orange and yuzu juices. Add the pineapple, onion, roasted red peppers and 2 tablespoons salt. Let sit at room temperature until the pineapple is completely cool and tender, at least 3 hours. Add the cilantro.
• Make the wings: Soak the wood chips in water at least 30 minutes; drain. Heat a charcoal grill and prepare for indirect grilling: Bank the coals to one side, leaving the other side empty. Set up a drip pan on the empty side. Let the fire burn down to a very low heat (165 degrees F to 175 degrees F). Scatter some of the wood chips over the hot coals. Remove the wings from the marinade (no need to wipe them off) and arrange on the cooler side of the grill, over the drip pan. Cover the grill and adjust the vents to maintain a low heat. Cook 2 hours, adding more wood chips halfway through and more charcoal as needed.
• Remove the wings from the grill. Spread out the coals and bring the grill temperature up to medium high (325 degrees F to 350 degrees F). Grill the wings over direct heat, covered and turning often, until the meat easily pulls away from the bone, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with the pickled pineapple.

SMOKED JERK CHICKEN WINGS WITH HONEY-TAMARIND DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the smoked jerk chicken wings: Brush the chicken with canola oil. Combine the sugar, allspice, chile, black pepper and salt. Generously coat the chicken with the spice mix.
• Heat the grill to medium for indirect grilling. Add the chips to the coals or put in a smoke box and add to the grill. Place the chicken on the grill over medium heat, and cook until golden browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Cover the grill. Grill until the chicken is brown and crisp and just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from grill and place the chicken in a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, for the honey-tamarind dipping sauce: Combine 1/2 cup water, the orange juice, honey, ketchup, tamarind and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until slightly thick, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and remove and discard the ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the vinegar. Keep warm.
• Add the honey-tamarind dipping sauce to the bowl of chicken and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and transfer to a platter.
