Smoked Chicken Wings on the Pellet Grill

These smoked chicken wings on the pellet grill are so easy to make - just prep the wings and smoke them on the grill for about 1.5 hours at 250 degrees F. Then, crank up the heat to about 450 degrees F for about 20 minutes to finish these crispy chicken wings on the grill!
I'll show you a quick tip for getting crispy wings on the smoker... I've tried making wings without doing this baking powder trick, and they definitely don't come out as crispy, so it works.
Finish off the smoked wings with your favorite buffalo or wing sauce for buffalo chicken wings, or leave them naked... these awesome party appetizers are great either way! Enjoy!

My friend, people will criticize ALWAYS. Ignore them. Your message of intent is always clear Make it how you like it! These wings look phenomenally delicious. I appreciate you and Amy so much. Keep it real

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Kelly...

[@landrywatson4136]

Yum!! I do mine pretty much the same way but instead of cranking the heat at the end I do a full 2-2.5 hr smoke and then broil them in the oven for 2-3 mins. Broiling with sauce on them melds them so well.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Great tip!

[@brodyschiess]

I need to try that baking powder trick. No more mushy wings! Really enjoyed this video!

You should! I did a members video on this and tried it out before I filmed...it was spot on two different times...

You mention chicken wings and it's a magnet for watching. Had these at my son's, he treated me to the smoker version in three different flavors. They were delicious. Oh Lord these look so good.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Very cool! I absolutely love smoked and sauced wings...hands down my favorite

[@floydcampbell1501]

What temperature did you start them out at?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

250....

[@russ350r]

This is close to how I do them. Instead of cranking the smoker to finish them off, I finish them on my gas grill with grill grates. I like the char that the grill grates create.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey I love the char...heck yea...thanks Russ

[@scottteague3738]

Love your channel and videos.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks so much!

[@Eric_Allen]

I usually crank the heat up on my smoker to 425 at the end to try to crisp them up a bit. It still doesn't get as crispy as I like, so I'll try the baking powder method. By the way, if you like alot of smoke flavor like I do, I add a smoke tube to my pellet smoker to add more smoke. It's a game changer (if you like smokey taste like I do). Still doesn't compare to a wood burner offset smoker, but pellet is just so dang convenient

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely..i have one and use quite a bit...i should have used it...still something I am getting use to adding....

Franks thick sauce, I put the Sh!t on everything. What was your start temp? I am doing wings on the smoker Friday. Got large wings for $1.11 a lb. Filled the freezer. Also I add the sauce to the bowl and on the burner to heat the sauce. Also got this BBQ apple sauce I am going to try.

I have made some great wings on my Blackstone and I got my PitBoss smoker for Christmas and I’m going to do 3-4 different sauces on my wings and I have a coffee rub with a coffee infused sauce that I’m going to use on 1.

I always use corn starch on my smoked wings and it does give it a great texture. I’ll have to try the baking powder next time. Have you compared that yet?

I have not. But always up for a comparison especially wings. Hahahaa. I wonder then if griddle or grill matters.

@@TheFlatTopKing I’ve cooked them like that on my old stick burner, XL Egg, and Pit Boss smoker and they’ve always been good. Sometimes I go back to the cast iron and peanut oil though.

[@jakespencer8077]

@@TheFlatTopKing depends what I’m in the mood for. Love them in peanut oil but not as healthy. Most of the time on the Egg with lump and hickory chunks with the corn starch. Feel better after I eat it and picks up a good smoke that the fam loves.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great job Neil, wings 3 ways, Your daughters version would be as hot as I could stand them. I do like the flavor but the heat is really hard on me. I greatly enjoy the way you and your wife film these videos and give folks versions and ways to chose from. If folks can't go with that then they need to find some place else to eat. Keep up the good work and videos and have fun when ever you can. Fred.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thanks Fred...really appreciate your support

[@davidball8]

Looks amazing. Wanna try something different? 225 for 3 hours and then crank the heat to crisp them up. Not dry at all and the cartilage just melts. I did it by accident because I forgot I put them on the smoker. 😂 was shocked they came out so good. Only way I do it now.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hey im down for sure...long time though...any chance the smoke was overpowering..

@@TheFlatTopKing not at all. I am using a Masterbuilt 1050 with only charcoal. Sometimes I use a chunk of oak or my smoke tube for extra smoke flavor.

@@davidball8 😂😂😂😂. I hear ya

[@chrisbalough8196]

Be careful when grabbing the baking powder to make sure it doesn't have aluminum as some brands do. I'm a fan of just using corn starch as it is cheap and always on hand and doesn't/can't really change the flavor like the baking soda (and sometimes aluminum) in the baking powder can.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

good tip...i just looked at mine after reading this and it does have aluminum in it..interesting

[@mikedelacruz3135]

[@TheFlatTopKing]

well thats probably true...i didnt think about that...sorry..

[@curtdunlap6818]

I like to put the meat (beef or pork ribs or chicken) back on the smoker or grill for a while after saucing it up, not so much for the flavor, but to dry up the sauce a little to make a thick, gooey coating, especially with sugary or honey sauces. Oh that thick caramel coating is oh so good! Not sure if that would work for a hot sauce, but hey, go on the wild side and try it! 😋

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely...it does the same thing...I have double sauced before and its really good but the heat itself stays the same so I sometimes dont think you get the bang for the buck..I double dipped on my weber video

[@2Wheels_NYC]

Matt's Show Notes: 1. Baking powder hack works wonders! 2. Frank's is the OG for wings. 3. Matt needs some Heath Riles in his life. 4. Matt also needs to start smoking with his Pit Boss! 5. These look NYC sports bar worthy!
