Ingredients

Spicy BBQ Sweet Heat Seasoning by Sauce Goddess
Sweet ‘n Smokey! Barbecue Sauce by Croix Valley
3 lb Party Wings
1/4 Cup Cornstarch

Directions

Preheat the smoker or grill: Preheat your smoker or grill to 250 °F, using indirect heat and wood of choice.
Prepare the wings: If you have not already sectioned the wings, separate the flats from the drums. Pat dry with a paper towel. Add to a large mixing bowl.
Season the wings: Lightly coat wings with Croix Valley's Sweet n' Smokey! Competition Barbecue Sauce as a binder, add a generous amount of cornstarch ensuring wings are coated on all sides, followed by Spicy BBQ Sweet Heat Seasoning by Sauce Goddess.
Place wings directly on the grill or smoker grate and cajole for 2 hours.
Prepare the wings for serving: Choose your next method for achieving a crispy skin! Choose either flash frying, air frying, or increasing the grill temperature to 375 °F.
If flash frying wings: Prepare frying oil to 350 °F and flash fry wings for about 2 minutes.
If air frying wings: Air fry at 400 °F for 2-4 minutes.
If finishing off on the grill: Increase grill temperature to 350 °F and grill for 2 minutes each side.
Garnish the wings with a drizzle of Croix Valley's Sweet n' Smokey! Competition Barbecue Sauce and serve with our jalapeno ranch or dressing of choice.
