Add more wood chips as needed to continue smoke. Smoke wings for 2 hours.Combine butter, garlic, and 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Stir hot sauce into butter mixture; simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes.Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).Preheat grill to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).Cook wings, 10 to 12 at a time, in the deep fryer until no wings are longer pink in the center and are lightly browned on the outside, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove wings from the oil with a slotted spoon, letting excess oil drain from the wings.Place cooked wings on a baking sheet and liberally coat each wing with hot sauce mixture.Place coated wings directly onto the grates of the preheated grill; cook until sauce has caramelized and wings are crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.Info | Recipes For Chicken Wings On The Grillprep:
