Smoked Honey Buffalo Chicken Wings
Smoked Honey Buffalo Chicken Wings have the perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and smoky!
The perfect snack for game day, a fun dinner idea, or in our case… a messy but yummy weekend snack by the pool!
Summer days are the BEST when you have the smoker or grill going, am I right?!
How to make Smoked Honey Buffalo Chicken Wings
We started with 5 pounds of jumbo split chicken wings and some sauces to make a new sauce creation.
First, pat the wings dry and place them in a big bowl.
Drizzle some olive oil over top and season well with kosher salt, pepper, and seasoning blend of choice.
I used a mix of Old Bay and steak seasoning.
Toss the wings until they are evenly combined.
And head out to the smoker or Traeger pellet grill.
Put the seasoned wings on the smoker for 2 1/2 hours total.
And flip them halfway through cooking.
While the wings were doing their thing on the smoker, make the honey buffalo sauce.
Add a cup of buffalo wing sauce, 1/4 cup honey, and a tablespoon each of soy sauce and lemon juice to a saucepan.
Bring it just to a boil for a minute, then set aside.
When there’s about a half hour left of smoking, brush the wings on all sides with the sauce a few times.
Serve Smoked Honey Buffalo Chicken Wings with the remaining honey buffalo sauce and ranch dressing!
Such a great wing flavor… a little familiar thanks to the buffalo sauce.
But with a slightly unique flavor thanks to the rest of the sauce ingredients.
