How long does it take to smoke chicken wings on the pellet grill?
Pellet Grill Smoked Chicken Wings are ready to eat in about 2 hours after smoking; however, they will sit in the fridge and marinate for a few hours too.
That means in total it will take just over 4 hours to fully prepare these smoked chicken wings.
What temperature are smoked chicken wings considered done?
Smoked Chicken Wings are considered done when they reach an internal temperature of at least 160*F; however, we like to get these closer to 170*F.
These will depend on your personal preference.
It’s best to use either the probe with the pellet grill or a meat thermometer to be sure your wings are fully cooked.
What pellets should you use?
Hickory is a great option for wings as well as a blend.
We typically choose the blend when making these wings, it gives them a variety of nice smokey flavors.
What sauces should you serve chicken wings with?
We like to choose one of these sauces or serve with all three sauces.
Tips for Making Pellet Grill Smoked Chicken Wings:
Don’t skip the 2 hours of letting the wings marinate and soak in the seasonings, this really gives them a great flavor.
Always use a meat thermometer or probe to be sure they are fully cooked.
These are smoked entirely at 225*F, so it will take about 2 hours to fully smoke them. Many different smokers put off a different amount of heat, which is why it’s good to always have that meat thermometer on hand.
Enjoy these great wings!
