Instructions for Cooking Whiskey-Smoked Wings

Marinate the Wings
In a large bowl, combine whiskey, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and honey. Mix well. Add chicken wings and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Smoke the Wings
Remove the wings from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Place wings on the smoker rack. Smoke the wings for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are crispy on the outside.
