Note: I was sent samples of Bear Mountain BBQ Wood Pellets in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone.
I’ve mentioned many times in the past how much I love to grill, but last summer I began dabbling in smoked foods. I don’t own a smoker, so I just use my grill, and Bear Mountain BBQ Pellets make it super simple to do so! Last year I made an awesome recipe for Smoked Potato Salad using Bear Mountain’s Gourmet Blend. This time around, I’m sharing a more traditional smoked food recipe: Smoked Chicken Wings!
My husband is kind of chicken wings obsessed. His current favorite wings dry rubbed smoked wings from our local pizza place, Pizza Plus, so I decided to try to make some of my own at home. I used Bear Mountain Bold BBQ Pellets for this recipe, but their Gourmet Blend would also work.
Ingredients (makes 3 lbs wings, or 2-4 servings. Multiply as needed):
- 1/2 tablespoon each:
- smoked paprika
- Hungarian paprika
- chili powder
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- 1 teaspoon each:
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon each:
- cumin
- ground mustard
- 3 lbs wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-2 cups Bear Mountain Bold BBQ Pellets
- blue cheese dip, for serving
