Method: 

Step 1: Light your charcoal, today we are using Flaming Coals Lump Charcoal for its consistent burn quality and great taste! Pour it into your kettle charcoal basket or if you have one (like us) your SnS Deluxe charcoal basket.

Step 2: After patting dry your chicken wings, season your chicken wings with Kosmos Q Dirty Bird, it’s a little bit savoury, a little bit sweet - it hits all the right notes!

Step 3: Load your wings onto your kettle bbq grill off the fire! This will prevent you from having to stand over a hot fire while loading!

Step 4: Ensure your wings are on the indirect side of the heat (as we are smoking not grilling!). 

Step 5: This cook should take around 20 minutes, however, you’re looking for a minimum temperature of 165°F or 74°C. 

Step 6: Spritz with apple juice or water

Step 7: When your wings reach 175°F or 79°C its time to glaze them with Sucklebusters Honey BBQ Glaze & Finishing Sauce. Simply baste the tops of your wings and then put the lid back on the kettle bbq for another minute or two to allow the glaze to set. 

Step 8: Once the glaze has set, remove your wings and serve immediately! Enjoy!
