Ingrediencie

5 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes)

2½ Tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

Postup

Prep the wings: Pat the wings thoroughly dry with paper towels to help achieve crispy skin. Place them in a large zip-top bag.

Season the wings: Add the baking powder and salt to the bag. Seal the bag and shake until the wings are evenly coated. (Optional: Mix baking powder with your favorite BBQ rub for extra flavor.)

Preheat the smoker: Set your smoker to 250°F, using your preferred wood for smoking.

Smoke the wings: Arrange the wings directly on the smoker grates, close the lid, and smoke for 30 minutes to infuse flavor.

Increase the heat: Raise the smoker temperature to 425°F and continue cooking until the wings reach an internal temperature of 175°F. Rotate or flip as needed to ensure even cooking.

Serve: Remove from the smoker and serve immediately. Enjoy them plain, toss in your favorite BBQ rub, or coat with hot sauce for extra flavor.

Poznámky

Drying the wings well before seasoning is key for crispier skin.

Baking powder helps create a crispy texture by drawing out moisture.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure wings reach 175°F for the best texture.

Wood choices: Hickory, apple, or cherry wood add great flavor to smoked wings.

Serving ideas: Serve with ranch, blue cheese dressing, or celery sticks for a classic wing experience.
