Wings

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

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

  2. 2

    Preheat the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) using hickory or your preferred wood chips.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Wings

    Place the wings in the smoker and smoke for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  4. 4

    Optional Frying

    If you prefer fried wings, heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (177°C) and fry the wings for 8-10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the smoked or fried wings hot with housemade buttermilk ranch dressing on the side.
