INGREDIENTS

  • 3 lbs chicken wings⁣
  • 2 tbsp Yardbird seasoning⁣
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour⁣
  • ½ cup hot sauce (as a binder)⁣
  • 1 bag crushed Flamin’ Hot Cheetos⁣

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the Smoker:⁣ Fire up your Yoder Smokers YS640S to 350°F using your favorite wood pellets for a bold, smoky flavor.
  2. Prep the Wings:⁣ Pat the wings dry with paper towels.⁣ Season generously with Yardbird seasoning for a solid flavor base.⁣
  3. Coat the Wings:⁣ In a bowl, toss the wings in flour and then hot sauce to create a sticky binder.⁣
  4. Crust ‘Em Up:⁣ Dredge each wing in the crushed Cheetos, pressing firmly to coat evenly.⁣
  5. Smoke ‘Em:⁣ Place the wings directly on the smoker grates. Smoke at 350°F for about 30-40 hours, flipping halfway through, until the internal temp hits 165-175°F for ultra-tender, crispy wings.⁣
  6. Crisp ‘Em Up (Optional):⁣ For extra crunch, crank the smoker to 400°F for the last 10 minutes⁣
  7. Serve & Enjoy:⁣ Let them rest for a few minutes, then dig in! Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and an extra drizzle of hot sauce.⁣ Game Day Ready! Who’s grabbing the first wing?
