Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create a rub.
Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the rub, then mix well to combine.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the rub adhere better.
Toss the chicken wings in the bowl containing the rub. Ensure each wing is thoroughly coated with the spice mixture.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the smoker grates.
Smoke the wings at 225°F (107°C) for approximately 60 minutes.
Increase the smoker temperature to 375°F (191°C) and continue smoking for an additional 30 minutes to crisp up the skin.
Check the internal temperature of the wings; they should reach at least 165°F (74°C).
Remove the wings from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the smoked chicken wings warm, and enjoy your flavorful, low carb meal!
