Smoked Chicken Wings
Components
- Two pounds of chicken wings and two tablespoons of olive oil
- One tablespoon of paprika
- One teaspoon of garlic powder
- One teaspoon of onion powder
- One teaspoon of salt
- A half-tsp black pepper
- For more heat, use half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
- Your preferred barbecue sauce (may be used for glazing)
Guidelines
1. Get the wings ready:
- With paper towels, pat dry the chicken wings. This aids in their crisping.
2. Time of Year:
- Toss the wings in olive oil in a big basin. Combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a different small bowl. After coating the wings evenly, sprinkle them with the spice mixture and toss.
3. Get the smoker ready:
- Start your smoker at 225°F, or 107°C. Before putting wood chips in the smoker, let them soak in water for about half an hour.
4. Add some smoke to the wings:
- Put the wings straight onto the rack for smoking. Smoke the wings for one and a half to two hours, or until they are 165°F (74°C) inside.
5. Glaze Optional:
- For a more saucy taste, apply more BBQ sauce to the wings in the final 15 to 20 minutes of smoking before putting them back in the smoker.
6. Present:
- Before serving, take the wings out of the smoker and give them a few minutes to rest. Savor them either this way or with more BBQ sauce on the side!
Juicy and flavorful, these smoked chicken wings are ideal for any kind of gathering. Have fun!
