Instruction

  • Pat the wings dry with paper towels and place in a gallon size plastic baggie.

  • Add the remaining mixture to a saucepan with the butter. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat to simmer for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
  • Place the chicken wings in a smoker set to 250 degrees for two and a half hours. Flip them halfway through. Check the internal temp to make sure they are at 170 degrees before serving.Note, these can also be baked in the oven: Place wings on a lined baking sheet and put in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes, flip them halfway through.
  • Toss the cooked wings with the sauce and serve with lime wedges on the side and cilantro for garnish if desired.
