BBQ

OK Here's a fairly easy/quick smoker recipe. You can do this on a gas/charcoal grill as well; just get some wood chips & soak then double wrap in foil with some holes punched in the top to let the smoke out and place in the gas grill plate/coals.

Smoked Chipolte/Tequila Chicken Wings. (7lbs)


Marinade:
10 oz Tabasco brand Chipotle sauce (2 bottles)
1 cup canola oil
½ cup lemon juice
½ cup lime juice
¼ cup honey
¼ cup tequila
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 head garlic crushed - head not clove


Sauce:
½ pound butter – salted
10 oz Tabasco brand Chipotle sauce (2 bottles)
1/8 cup tequila

Prep:
Rinse wings and pat dry; Remove wing tip. Cut remaining wing into two pieces. Pack into a container and add marinade. (I use a Food saver and vacuum marinade) refrigerate 4 – 12 hours. (longer is better)

Fire up smoker (hickory or oak) You’re looking for about 300 degrees. Oil grates.

While the smoker heats melt the butter in a large sauce pan and wisk in the chipolte sauce and tequila.

Remove the wings from the marinade. Place the wings on the grate and brush with the marinade. Discard the leftover marinade. Cook until the skin is crispy 30 – 40 minutes. Baste with the sauce the last 10 minuets. Pull and place in bowl and toss with any remaining sauce.

Serve with Blue cheese or ranch (make it yourself you lazy bastards!)

My Blue Cheese:

8 oz blue cheese
1 cup mayo
1 cup sour cream
pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Combine cheese and mayo in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the salt, pepper and sour cream and pulse until smooth.

My Ranch:

1 cup cream
¼ cup mayo
½ cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped fine
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons black pepper
½ teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon thyme
squirt of lemon juice

Combine in food processor or blender and pulse until smooth
