Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepping the Wings

    In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Marinating

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Preparing the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 250°F (120°C). Use your choice of wood chips for a smoky flavor.

  4. 4

    Smoking the Wings

    Place the marinated wings on the smoker rack, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Smoke the wings for about 2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Glazing with BBQ Sauce

    In the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the wings with BBQ sauce, turning them occasionally to ensure even coverage.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Remove the wings from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your award-winning smoked wings!
