Wings

Using Lane's Signature brine (1c to 1g water) brine your chicken wings for 12hrs in the fridge.

Remove and pat dry. (Paper Towels work great for this!)

Heat smoker to 325

Dust wings with Lane's Garlic2 rub. Cook at 325 for about 45 minutes until internal temp reaches 190 degrees

In a small container add melted butter, 1 tablespoon Lane's Garlic2 rub, and 2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan.

Pull wings, toss with garlic butter parmesan mixture and return to smoker/grill for another 10 minutes or until internal temp is reached.

Plate wings and dust with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Sometimes you might be in the mood for wings, but the traditional wing sauce has you in a funk? Try a different flavor! There aren’t any rules to making great-tasting wings. These wings are not your traditional taste and we are positive you will like them. The brine, garlic rub, and parmesan cheese really make these wings pop! They will far exceed any expectations you have and your taste buds will thank you for it. We know we know, wings are supposed to be hot and the hotter the better, but sometimes it is nice to enjoy great-tasting food without the fear of flavor burn.

Recipe Note

"Pro Tips"

If tossing the wings is not in your wheelhouse you could brush mixture on the wings and keep them on the smoker/grill. Also if you are short on time you can skip the brining process, however, brining does truly help the wings to be juicier and have a crispy skin that is packed with awesome flavor.
You always want the internal temperature of dark meat to be higher than white meat. Our preference is to finish wings around 195 to 200. Finishing wings at a higher temperature will crisp up the skin and give you fall off the bone tenderness.
You can also finish wings around 185, but we don't recommend finishing wings any lower than that. Dark meat can be tougher if finished between 165 and 180.
Always cook to your preference and remember Keep Experimenting!
