Turkey Wing Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Brine

   In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

2. 2

   Brine the Turkey Wings

   Submerge the turkey wings in the brine mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

3. 3

   Smoke the Turkey Wings

   Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Remove the turkey wings from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the wings in the smoker and smoke for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

4. 4

   Prepare the BBQ Sauce

   While the wings are smoking, prepare the BBQ sauce by combining any leftover brine with additional ketchup and brown sugar in a saucepan. Simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until thickened.

5. 5

   Glaze the Wings

   During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the BBQ sauce over the turkey wings to glaze them.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Once smoked, remove the wings from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
