Pickle Back Wings
Steps
- Brine your wings: In a zip lock bag, combine the chicken wings and pickle juice. Brine in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
- Make your seasoning: Combine bourbon, honey, brown sugar, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and Meat Church Holy Cow (or other salt, pepper, garlic blend) into a bowl. Mix together until well combined.
- Prep wings for smoker: Remove your wings from the pickle juice brine and pat dry with a paper towel. Pour over your seasoning mixture and coat the wings.
- Smoke your wings at 375℉ for 1 hour using Bear Mountain BBQ Gourmet pellets, flipping halfway through. Once the wings hit 175℉ and have a good char on them, remove and enjoy!
