Method

For the Smoked Chicken Wings

Prepare the Chicken Wings

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

Smoke the Wings

Preheat your smoker to 250°F (120°C). Arrange the wings on the smoker racks and smoke for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Make the Harissa-Honey Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine harissa paste and honey. Heat over low heat until warmed through and mixed well.

Coat the Wings

Once the wings are done smoking, remove them from the smoker and toss them in the harissa-honey sauce until evenly coated.

For the Buttermilk Ranch

Prepare the Dressing

In a mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
