What’s in Smoked Wings?
While it may take a bit of extra time to smoke chicken wings, the tasty results are always worth it. Plus, you’ll get the satisfaction of feeling like a true pit master as you serve up these mouthwatering wings to your happy family and friends.
Chicken Wings: One of the great things about chicken wings is their relatively low cost, which makes them an affordable choice for feeding a crowd or stretching your food budget. Oil: For this chicken wing recipe, heart-healthy and flavorful olive oil is the best choice. Spices: Chili powder, garlic, onion, and paprika, along with salt, are all the basic spices you need for the perfect flavor on your smoked chicken, but feel free to get creative and use your favorite pantry spices. Barbecue Sauce: Everyone has their favorite BBQ sauce, but feel free to try my “Homemade” BBQ Sauce Recipe (Best Brisket Sauce) for brushing over the wings while grilling.
Variations on Crispy Smoked Chicken Wings
There are so many ways to customize these smoked chicken wings! An easy way to change up the flavor is to swap the spices for a seasoning blend, like taco seasoning, chicken seasoning, Italian seasoning, Creole seasoning, or blackened seasoning. You could also change up the type of sauce you toss them in. Try Buffalo sauce, sweet and sour sauce, balsamic glaze, or even apple cider sauce.
How to Store and Reheat the Best Smoked Chicken Wings
Store leftover smoked chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven on a wire rack set in a baking sheet for 15 minutes, or until heated through.
How to Freeze Crispy Smoked Wings
Freeze smoked chicken wings in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
