Method
Preparation of Dry Rub
- 1
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Preparing the Wings

Prepare the Chicken Wings
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the skin crisp up when smoked.

Apply Dry Rub
Sprinkle the dry rub mixture evenly over the chicken wings. Rub the mixture into the wings to ensure they are fully coated. Let the wings sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Preheat the Smoker

Smoke the Wings
Place the wings directly on the smoker grate. Smoke for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Toss in Buffalo Sauce
Once the wings are done smoking, remove them from the smoker and place them in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
