Smoked Chicken Wings recipe

by

Ingredients

  • 2–3 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp BBQ dry rub (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Wood chips (hickory, apple, or your choice)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss them in olive oil to coat evenly.
  2. Season: In a bowl, mix together the BBQ dry rub, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the wings.
  3. Preheat Smoker: Heat your smoker to 225–250°F (107–121°C). Add wood chips of your choice for that smoky flavor.
  4. Smoke the Wings: Place wings directly on the smoker rack. Smoke for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Optional Crisping: For crispier skin, transfer wings to a hot grill or broiler for 2–3 minutes per side after smoking.
  6. Rest and Serve: Let the wings rest a few minutes, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce or just as they are!
