Step 2: After patting dry your chicken wings, season your chicken wings with Kosmos Q Dirty Bird, it’s a little bit savoury, a little bit sweet - it hits all the right notes!

Step 3: Load your wings onto your kettle bbq grill off the fire! This will prevent you from having to stand over a hot fire while loading!

Step 4: Ensure your wings are on the indirect side of the heat (as we are smoking not grilling!).

Step 7: When your wings reach 175°F or 79°C its time to glaze them with Sucklebusters Honey BBQ Glaze & Finishing Sauce. Simply baste the tops of your wings and then put the lid back on the kettle bbq for another minute or two to allow the glaze to set.
