SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS (Keto/low carb/gluten free)
Whole chicken wings cooked on a pellet smoker covered in a sweet dry rub. These wings are juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside and served with a homemade buffalo sauce. These wings can be covered in any dry rub of choice or simply with salt and pepper. Included in this recipe is my rib rub (not keto), just make a batch of it and store in an airtight container away from heat.
