Instructions
- for this recipe I fire my pellet smoker and set at 275 degrees. You can also cook this in the oven set your oven at bake 375 degrees and cook until bacon is crispy and chicken wings are cooked. For oven method I highly recommend using a resting rack in the oven so the bacon crisps up and not cook in grease. For bbq I highly recommend sitting your grill for hot/cold zone. Set your bbq at 375 degrees and place your wings on the cold zone until bacon and chicken wings are cooked then place on the hot zone for couple minutes to crisp up the bacon. For this I highly recommend a resting rack on the cold zone so bacon grease doesn’t cause a flare up in the grill
- Pat dry your chicken wings and Season with your favorite bbq rub I am usinhg 1/2 tbsp of each garlic powder, pepper, paprika and 1/4 tbsp of each kosher salt & onion powder save some for after you wrap with bacon
- Then wrap with bacon. For bacon I am cutting it half length wise, you don’t want too much bacon wrapped around it. Use 1-2 toothpicks to secure bacon in place
- Then Season again with your favourite bbq rub I am using remaining of my rub 1/2 tbsp of each garlic powder, pepper, paprika and 1/4 tbsp of each kosher salt & onion powder
- Place the wings on the smoker and cook until internal temperature reaches a minimum of 180-190 degrees and bacon is cooked turning once half way through. Total cook time should be about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- for garlic sauce combine all ingredients and refrigerate to maximize flavour
