Blazin Smoked Chicken Challenge

How to make Blazin Smoked Chicken Challenge Recipe - Here is a challenge for you: make this recipe and see if you can stand the heat! I admit, I could not do it, but the half bite I took tasted really good. No use of extracts it’s all about the peppers with a lot of flavor to be found in this spicy treat.

Serves: 1–2

Ingredients:
1 pound chicken wing pieces

Caliente Rub:
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp smoky paprika
1/2 tbsp Kosher salt
1/2 tbsp coarse black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp chile de arbol, ground (optional)
1/2 tsp guajillo dried peppers, ground (optional)

Caliente Sauce:
2 cups ketchup
2 cups Valentina’s black label hot sauce (or use Frank’s)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup tequila
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp chile de arbol, ground (optional)
1/2 tsp guajillo dried peppers, ground (optional)

Method:
Mix all rub ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Whisk all sauce ingredients in a small pot to put on the grill.

Set up grill for a two-zone indirect grilling, add chunks of fruit wood.

Apply the rub on the chicken wings.

Place wings on the cool side of the grill with the lid on.

Place sauce on cool side of the grill to absorb the smoky scent.

Cook the chicken for 40 minutes at 325 to 350 degrees F. Don’t flip the wings.

Dip the wings in the sauce, place back on the grill, cook for 10 minutes more. Repeat dipping and cooking once more.

Remove from grill and serve.
