Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- Olive oil spray
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). If using a grill for smoking, set it up for indirect heat and maintain the same temperature.
While the smoker is heating, prepare the chicken wings by patting them dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. This helps the seasoning adhere better and results in a crispier skin.
Place the dried wings in a large mixing bowl. Lightly spray the wings with olive oil spray, ensuring all wings are evenly coated. This will help the seasoning stick and promote a better smoke flavor.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken wings, and toss them until each wing is evenly coated with the spices.
Arrange the seasoned chicken wings on the smoker's grates in a single layer, leaving space between each wing for even cooking.
Close the smoker lid and let the wings smoke for 60 minutes.
After 60 minutes, increase the smoker temperature to 350°F (175°C) to help crisp up the skin, and smoke for an additional 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the wings reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the wings from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the wings hot as they are, or with your favorite low-calorie dipping sauce for added flavor.
