Bacon Wrapped Hot Wings

Everything’s better with bacon, so I decided to experiment with a new bacon-wrapped recipe on my Green Mountain Grills smoker — smoked bacon wrapped hot wings!

These smoked hot wings are perfect for a Super Bowl party!

I tried this recipe with both popular hot wing sauces — Franks and Tabasco. For this particular recipe, Tabasco was the clear winner with its depth of flavor. The Franks was just too vinegary for this.

I smoked these on the grill, but you can also make them in your oven!

I seasoned my chicken wings with a little Bad Byron’s Butt Rub, but you can also use a small sprinkling of seasoned salt such as Lawry’s or your this homemade BBQ rub. Then, we just wrap with a half-slice of bacon and hit the smoker!

When making this recipe for smoked bacon wrapped hot wings, set your smoker to about 200 F, or you can bake these in the oven at 200-200 F, for a couple hours. These are SUPER good and your friends will suddenly be inviting themselves over hoping for more!

The smoked chicken wings recipe is quick and easy to make, and are a dressed up version of the standard buffalo hot wings recipe you’ve come to love. Hope you enjoy it!
