Gather the necessary ingredients

Get ready to drool as we gather all the ingredients you need to make the most delicious recteq smoked wings on your pellet grill!

To start, you’ll need about 3 lbs of chicken wings, which you can easily find at your local grocery store. Make sure to get the wings with the skin on, as this will help them retain moisture and flavor during the cooking process.

Next, you’ll need to prepare the dry rub. This is what’ll give the wings their delicious flavor and help them develop a crispy exterior. To make the dry rub, you’ll need 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tbsp of paprika, 1 tbsp of garlic powder, 1 tbsp of onion powder, 1 tbsp of salt, and 1 tsp of cayenne pepper. Mix these ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.

Finally, you’ll need a good quality pellet grill, such as the recteq RT-700, to cook the wings. This type of grill uses wood pellets to create heat and smoke, giving your wings a delicious smoky flavor. Make sure to preheat your grill to 350°F before you start cooking, and have plenty of pellets on hand to keep the fire going for the duration of the cook time.

With these ingredients and tools in hand, you’re ready to make some mouthwatering recteq smoked wings that’ll have your taste buds singing!

Prepare the chicken wings

First, you’ll want to trim any excess fat from the chicken wings so they cook evenly and stay juicy. Use a sharp knife to cut off any visible fat, and discard it. Rinse the wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is important because it ensures that your wings will cook evenly and have a crispy texture.

Next, season your wings with your preferred rub or seasoning. You can use a premade rub or make your own by mixing together your favorite spices. Apply the seasoning generously to both sides of the wings, making sure to coat them evenly. This will give your wings a flavorful crust and enhance the taste of the meat.

Finally, preheat your pellet grill to 225°F. Once the grill is ready, place the wings directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke the wings for about 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Make sure to turn the wings occasionally to ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.

When the wings are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your mouthwatering recteq smoked wings!

Set up your pellet grill

To properly prepare for smoking, you’ll need to ensure that your grill is set up correctly. Firstly, you’ll need to fill the hopper with pellets. Choose high-quality wood pellets that will give your wings the perfect smoky flavor.

Once you’ve filled the hopper, turn on the grill and allow it to preheat to the desired temperature.

Next, you’ll need to clean the grates. This is important, as it prevents the wings from sticking to the grill and ensures that they cook evenly. Use a grill brush to scrape off any leftover debris from previous grilling sessions. If the grates are particularly dirty, you can also use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe them down.

Lastly, it’s time to turn on the grill and preheat it to the desired temperature. This will ensure that the wings cook evenly and come out perfectly crispy on the outside, while remaining tender and juicy on the inside.

Once the grill has preheated, it’s time to add the wings to the grates and start smoking. With your pellet grill set up correctly, you’re ready to create the mouth-watering recteq smoked wings that everyone will love.

Smoke the wings

Now it’s time for you to experience the magic of perfectly smoked chicken wings, simply by adding them to the preheated grates of your expertly set up grill. Smoking chicken wings on a recteq pellet grill is a fantastic way to infuse your food with a smoky flavor that everyone will love. Here are some tips to help you smoke the wings to perfection:

• Start by seasoning the wings with your favorite dry rub. Make sure to cover them evenly so that the flavor is consistent throughout.

• Place the wings on the preheated grill grates and close the lid. Let them smoke for about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the wings and your desired level of smokiness.

• After the wings are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the meat even more tender and delicious.

Smoking wings on a pellet grill is a great way to elevate your barbecue game. With the right seasoning and cooking time, you can create mouthwatering wings that your family and friends will love. So, fire up your recteq pellet grill and get ready to enjoy some of the best smoked wings you’ve ever tasted!

Increase the temperature

Are you ready to take your chicken wings to the next level? Bump up the temperature on your grill to add an extra layer of crispiness to the skin and seal in all those delicious flavors. As you increase the heat, make sure to keep a close eye on the wings to prevent burning. The last thing you want is to ruin all your hard work by overcooking them.

To maximize the flavors of your recteq smoked wings, follow this simple temperature guide:

Temperature	Time
375°F	15-20 minutes
400°F	10-15 minutes
425°F	8-12 minutes
450°F	6-10 minutes
475°F	4-8 minutes

As the temperature increases, the cooking time decreases. This means that you’ll need to keep a close eye on the wings and adjust the time accordingly. You don’t want to end up with dry, overcooked wings that lack flavor and texture.

Incorporating this temperature guide will take your recteq smoked wings to the next level. With a crispy exterior and a juicy, flavorful interior, these wings are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So fire up your grill, bump up the temperature, and get ready to enjoy some mouthwatering wings!

Finish the wings

Now it’s time to finish off those juicy smoked wings! Grab your favorite sauce and generously coat each wing with it.

Pop the wings back on the grill and cook for a few more minutes until the sauce has caramelized and the wings are crispy.

You won’t be able to resist the irresistible aroma and mouthwatering taste of these perfectly sauced and cooked wings.

Sauce the wings

Once your wings are cooked to perfection, it’s time to slather them in your favorite sauce, giving them that irresistible sticky, sweet and tangy flavor that makes your taste buds dance with joy.

Begin by prepping your sauce of choice, whether it’s a classic buffalo sauce, a honey garlic glaze, or a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. Make sure it’s warmed up and ready to go before you start saucing your wings.

Using a basting brush, generously coat each wing with sauce, making sure to cover every inch for maximum flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even mix and match different sauces to create your own unique flavor combinations.

Once the wings are sauced up, pop them back on the grill for an additional 5-10 minutes to let the sauce caramelize and stick to the wings.

And voila! You now have a plate of mouthwatering, sticky, and delicious recteq smoked wings that are sure to be a crowd pleaser at any gathering.

Cook for a few more minutes

Next up, cook the sauced wings for a few more minutes on the grill to let the flavors meld together and create a caramelized coating. This step is essential for achieving that perfect balance of tender meat and crispy skin. While the wings are cooking, keep an eye on them and turn them over occasionally to ensure even cooking.

To make sure your wings are cooked to perfection, use the following cooking times as a guide:

Wing Type	Cooking Time
Drumettes	20-25 minutes
Flats	15-20 minutes
Whole	25-30 minutes

Remember, these times may vary depending on your grill and the size of your wings. To be sure your wings are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The FDA recommends a minimum temperature of 165°F for poultry. With a little patience, your recteq smoked wings will be ready to enjoy in no time!
