Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Make the chicken wing marinade. Mix the white wine, honey, dijon mustard, juice from one lemon, 1 teaspoon of the lemon pepper seasoning, 1 taespoon of salt, and 4 cloves of garlic minced. Put the wings in a gallon Ziploc bag and then pour the buttermilk ranch over top of the chicken wings. Let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the smoker to 225℉ and place an indirect heat plate if using a charcoal smoker.
  • Make the dry rub by combining the salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning, lemon zest from one lemon, 2-4 minced garlic, and parsley. Drain the marinade off the chicken wings. Then pat down with the dry rub.
  • Place the wings on the smoker grates in a single layer.Smoke for 2-2.5 hours or until the wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  • Crisp up the chicken wings. Remove the wings from the smoker and increase the temperature to 350°F, or preheat a grill to medium-high heat for crispier skin. Return the wings to the smoker or grill for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the skin to get crispy. You can also glaze with the honey garlic sauce recipe below.
  • In the last ten minutes of the wings cooking, make a garlic butter to brush on the wings. Combine melted butter, lemon pepper seasoning, minced fresh garlic, more parsley, and lemon juice. Brush on the wings if not using a honey garlic sauce.
  • Serve with celery and ranch or honey mustard dressing for dipping.
