  • ½ cup honey

  • 2 tbsp hot sauce

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Directions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Wings: Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, Tony Chachere’s Bold Creole Seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and dried oregano. Mix well to ensure even coating.
  2. Smoke the Chicken Wings: Preheat smoker to 225°F using hickory, apple, or cherry wood for balanced smoke flavor. Place wings on smoker grates and smoke for 60–75 minutes until they reach an internal temp of 155°F.
  3. Make the Hot Honey Sauce: In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in honey, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until well combined, then remove from heat.
  4. Crisp the Wings: Increase smoker temperature to 375°F. Cook wings for another 15–20 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 175–185°F and the skin is crispy.
  5. Toss in Hot Honey Sauce: Transfer wings to a large bowl and pour the hot honey sauce over them. Toss until wings are evenly coated.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot with a garnish of fresh parsley or sesame seeds. Pair with ranch or blue cheese dressing and enjoy!
