Anyone got a good recipe for smoked chicken wings and/or smoked turkey legs?
@Hobyrim Paging @Kurtroedeger and @Fiikus_goddess and @tyghebright because they have the most drool worthy pictures.
And I can burn hard boiled eggs... so you don't want my thoughts 😄

No advice on smoking. As an apartment dweller, my smoking is limited to some tea-smoked fish and veg.

It depends, what kind of smoker do you have?
@Fiikus_goddess @Kurtroedeger @tyghebright @PurpleDragon @voltronic a Weber smokey mountain
@Hobyrim @Kurtroedeger @tyghebright @PurpleDragon @voltronic Anyone not wanting to be tagged in this, say it now..
This is gonna get technical. 😂😂

I have the same type of smoker, and by far, my favorite chicken wings are chili teriyaki sticky wings.
I marinate my wings in the glazing sauce for about an hour before putting them in the smoker.
I put them on the top tier to "dry out" for about an hour. Use mild wood chips, like apple tree and give them a nice, gentle smoking (maybe 200F) for about an hour.
Then the work begins.

Transfer the wings to the lower rack with the coals being hot. Baste each wing, and turn over. Cover with the top lid. Keep doing this about every 5-10 minutes until the wings are done and have a nice sticky glaze on top. (You kinda have to know when it is done, make a boning test, aka try to eat one 😂 amd see if the nones come out easily.)

If you notice the wings being pink after taking them out, despite doing a boning test, chuck em in the oven for 300F until pinkness is away.
My sauce:
1 cup of soy sauce
1/2 cup of sake
4 tbs sweet chili sauce
4 tbs of brown sugar
2 tbs grated ginger
2 tbs grated garlic
1 tsp Ground black pepper
1 tsp paprika powder

Bring the soy sauce, sake, sugar, ginger and garlic to a boil. Reduce for about 15mins or until about maple syrupy consistency.
Add in the dry spices. Let it cool to room temp before pouring some of it to marinate the wings.
You can also make a big batch of it, it stays good in the fridge for months in an air tight container.
Just keep turning those wings after every basting! The sugar will do its magic then.
@Fiikus_goddess oh man thanks so much for this

I believe @voltronic does smoking as well. I haven't for a while to help too.much.
