Description

Experience the ultimate flavor with these double-fried and smoked chicken wings, enhanced by Primal Kitchen’s tangy Buffalo and classic BBQ sauces. Perfectly smoked, then twice fried for a crisp exterior and juicy interior, these American-style wings are ideal for appetizers, dinners, or main courses that will impress any crowd.

Ingredients

Chicken Wings:

  • 2 lbs of Chicken Wings
  • 1 cup Favorite BBQ Rub
  • Canola Oil as needed
  • 1 qt Frying Oil (peanut or vegetable)

Buffalo BBQ Sauce:

  • ½ cup Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce
  • ½ cup Primal Kitchen Classic BBQ Sauce (unsweetened)
  • Blue Cheese Sauce for serving
  • Chopped Chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the Wings: Lightly coat the chicken wings in canola oil. Place them in a bowl and thoroughly season with your favorite BBQ rub. Once seasoned, refrigerate the wings for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Prepare the Grill for Smoking: Preheat your grill to 250°F using a two-zone indirect cooking setup. For extra smoky flavor, add wood chips to the grill’s coals or smoker box.
  3. Smoke the Wings: Arrange the wings on the cooler side of the grill and smoke for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove wings from the grill and keep warm.
  4. Heat Oil for Frying: Increase the grill temperature to 400°F. Place a Dutch oven on the grill and add peanut or vegetable frying oil, heating it to 350°F for frying.
  5. First Fry: Carefully add the wings in batches to the hot oil, frying for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and stir occasionally to ensure even frying. Remove the wings and allow excess oil to drain.
  6. Toss in Sauces: Place the fried wings in a large bowl and toss with about ½ cup Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce and ½ cup Primal Kitchen Classic BBQ Sauce, fully coating them.
  7. Second Fry: Return the sauced wings to the hot oil in batches and fry for another 2 to 3 minutes to achieve an extra crispy texture. Remove wings and drain oil.
  8. Final Sauce Toss: Toss the wings again in additional Buffalo and BBQ sauces to coat thoroughly and enhance flavor.
  9. Serve: Arrange the wings on a serving plate, garnish with chopped chives, and serve with blue cheese sauce or ranch dressing on the side. Enjoy your perfectly smoked and double-fried chicken wings!

Notes

  • Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature closely to prevent overheating.
  • Frying the wings twice creates an exceptionally crispy skin while keeping the meat juicy.
  • Wood chips like hickory or applewood complement the smoky flavor beautifully.
  • Adjust the amount of sauce according to your preferred level of spiciness and sweetness.
  • Canola oil or peanut oil is best for high-heat frying due to their high smoke points.
