Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your smoker to 225°F and prepare 2 lbs chicken wings by patting dry with paper towels. Season evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
Step 2: Place the wings on the smoker rack and smoke for 2 hours until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin becomes slightly crisp.
Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup fresh Maine blueberries and cook for 5 minutes until they start to burst, stirring occasionally.
Step 4: Add 1/4 cup pure maple syrup and 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar to the saucepan. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glaze consistency, then remove from heat.
Step 5: Transfer the smoked wings to a large mixing bowl and toss with the warm maple-blueberry glaze until evenly coated.
Step 6: Serve immediately with 1 cup celery sticks, 1 cup carrot sticks, and 1/2 cup ranch dressing for dipping.
