Grilled/Smoked Chicken wings with Guavacue sauce.

I loved smoked chicken wings ! Nothing beats throwing on a few dozen wings for a couple hours and just feasting on them. My family likes the skin on the chicken to be a bit “crispier “. I came up with this recipe to meet them in the middle.

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds chicken wings, cut into drumettes and flats
• 1 tablespoon Kosher / Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne (start small and add more if you like spice)

• Preparation :

  • First set up the Big Green Egg for indirect cooking ( legs down ) and add chunks of apple or cherry wood.
  • Get the temperature up to 300-315  degrees and then go inside to start on the wings.
  • While the smoker is getting itself ready, throw together your rub and mix thoroughly.
  • Get your smoker at a stable 300 – 315 degrees and let them smoke for about 45 minutes.
  • Once the wings have cooked on the smoker for 45 minutes, the meat should be cooked through.
  • Remove your wings and then remove the plate setter. ( BE CAREFUL !)
  • Fire the Bige Green Egg up to about 450 degrees.
  • Put the wings back on for about 2 minutes on each side. You should see some nice grill markings !

   

   

  The Guavacue Sauce 

• Take your favorite BBQ Sauce add 2-3 tablespoons of Guava jam or jelly in a small pot on the stove until heated through.

• Brush this on your wings on each side let them cool for a sec and then enjoy !!

That's one. I have a family member that also picks them off the tree and makes and jars it. So freaking good. No preservatives which means once I cracked it open I have a few weeks to finish it or it gets hard and grainy. Matouks brand is amazing too. I'm pretty sure you can buy it here in the US.

I've been a huge fan of anything Guava since spending time in Puerto Rico as a kid.
