Foster Farms Hot Wings?

[SuperDave]

Anyone ever try to smoke the ready packaged hot wings?  I love everything about the Foster Farm brand hot wings and cook them often on the grill.  I was wondering if they would be any better with a short smoke bath before hitting the grill?

I have never heard of that brand nor have I tried it.  What I do is cook up the wings on the grill, toss the wings in a tub with Franks hot sauce, then put them back in the grill to dry the sauce up a bit, then eat.  That is our favorite way to make and eat hot wings.

I smoke the Tyson and other brand frozen wings all the time. They are pre cut and cleaned ready to go. I found little difference from fresh.

The Tyson's are about the same, maybe a touch less heat.  The next bag I get I'll give a try in the smoker.  How long do you smoke them before going to the grill?

I only get plain wings, no seasoning. I defrost them in water then brine them for about 3-6 hours. Any more and they get too salty. I rinse them, mustard/rub them then smoke at 235 for about 2 hours. Time varies depending on how many you have in there, so check after about an hour and half. They should be a bit underdone. I have grilled them and tried a 500 degree oven. They do crisp up, but also can get too well done very quick. Also, it's easy to over smoke them so I use about 2-2.5 ounces of wood, preferably apple.

I love wings--Smoked Wings--get out of here.  Another future smoke in the plan book.  Brilliant!
