Crispy Smoked Chicken Wings & Ranch Dressing #Paleo

Trying to eat better or Paleo friendly and don't know where to begin for this fun eating appitizer day - called SuperBowl?

We're smoking some ribs and wings that I can't wait to sink my teeth into!

Here's a great recipe for Crispy Smoked Chicken Wings and for Buffalo style, just toss in Franks Hot Sauce!

-Place chicken wings on smoker rack in a single layer and smoke until skin is golden brown and shiny, about 1 hour. Turn the wings once halfway through smoking.
-Grill wings over medium heat until crisp and cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.
-Garnish with lime wedges and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

NOTE: If you don’t have a smoker, you can smoke the wings on the grill. Add a pan of wood chips and smoke the wings over indirect heat on a gas or charcoal grill.

Can't have wings without ranch - right?  Here's a healthier / paleo friendly version.

1 cup paleo mayo
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup full fat, coconut milk
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp minched fresh herbs (parsley, basil and chives)
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Whisk together
Taste and Adjust seasonings

Thanks CookAtPaleo!

This is my favorite recipe - you'll find several out there and I've probably tried them!

MAYO:

2/3 cup olive oil (if you use extra virgin you will taste it and not like - to strong)
1 egg
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp dijon mustard or dry mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste

Best with a Smart Stick Blender!
