Pecan Pellet Smoked Chicken Wings

The wings were marinated all day in Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce. I then seasoned them with a
homemade chicken rub.


Fired up the Performer with lump charcoal and using my old gasser chip holder filled it half full with
Pecan pellets. When I put the wings on the Performer the extra air fired up the pellets big time!
Once I shut the lid they went back to smoking. I have a lot of different pellets from when I had
my electric smoker and decided to use some of them since I don’t plan on getting a pellet grill
anytime soon. ;)


40 minutes later I glazed the wings with some Hot Plum Chipotle sauce.


Wings are done after about 10 minutes and letting the glaze set.


Plated with some packaged broccoli cheddar rice.


These were probably one of the better wing cooks I have done and I have done plenty! Wings were
extremely flavorful and delicious. The pecan pellets added just the right amount of smoke. The pellets
seemed to really work well with the chicken since it did not give them an overpowering smoke taste.
And I can attest to using too much smoke at time with chicken. :cool: Will be using these again.

Thanks for looking!
