Chicken Wings (Smoked and Air Fried)

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Prepare your wings by patting them dry and then tossing them in 3 tablespoons of BBQ rub. Place wings in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Preheat your smoker to 225°F and smoke the wings for 1 hour.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F, spray the basket with cooking spray, and air fry the wings until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway. This will be approximately 12 minutes or until wings reach 195-200°F using a meat thermometer.

Make the Wing Sauce - Melt 1 stick salted butter and whisk in 1 cup hot sauce to create a classic buffalo sauce.

Toss the wings in the sauce and serve hot with blue cheese or ranch dressing (and celery if you want the full wing experience).
