Ingredients for Smoked Deviled Eggs

Hard boil the eggs

Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the eggs and cook them for 10 minutes. Drain the place eggs in an ice bath to cool them down quickly, then peel them under running cold water (this will make it easier).

Cut the hard boiled eggs in half

To cut the eggs in half, run a knife around the edge of each egg. Gently crack open an egg and place it in a bowl. Use a spoon to scoop out all of the yolks into another bowl (you can also use your fingers).The yolks will be used for deviling later on so don’t worry about getting them too clean!

Scoop out the egg yolks

With a spoon, scoop out the yolks and place them on a parchment lined pan. Use a knife to cut the eggs in half. Be careful not to break the egg whites! Place the egg whites onto a serving plate, and put them in the fridge.

Get the wood chips ready for the grill

We used a gas grill for this recipe, but you can use your smoker, or charcoal grill. Western Premium BBQ has smoking wood chips for gas grills and smokers, and chunks for charcoal grills. For this recipe we used hickory chips on a gas grill. We think the sweet and strong hickory smoke flavor enhances these spicy deviled eggs! Place the hickory wood chips in a smoking container, or in a foil pouch with holes. Add them to your grill and give them a chance to start smoking. Be sure to have extra wood chips to add as needed.

Smoke the yolks

Smoking just the yolks and not the whites will allow for a smoky flavor, but still a bright white egg yolk for these smoked deviled eggs. Place the parchment lined pan with the yolks on the grill next to the smoke, and cover. Set a timer for 10 minutes. Check the eggs, and turn the pan. Smoke for another 10 minutes.

Create the filling for smoked deviled eggs

Allow the yolks to cool for about 10 minutes. Then mash with a fork. Add in the mayo, pickle juice, Dijon, hot sauce and salt & pepper, and mix. You can also use a hand mixer if you want to get it really smooth, but don’t overdo it!

Pipe in filling and garnish!

Place the filling into a piping bag with the tip of your choice. Set the plate of eggwhites out and pipe with the smoky filling. Garnish with smoked bacon candy and scallions. Now it is time to grab these smoked deviled eggs and start the party! Your guest will love them! These smoked deviled eggs did not last long at our house.
