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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the rub, then mix well to combine.

Step 4

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the rub adhere better.

Step 5

Toss the chicken wings in the bowl containing the rub. Ensure each wing is thoroughly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 6

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the smoker grates.

Step 7

Smoke the wings at 225°F (107°C) for approximately 60 minutes.

Step 8

Increase the smoker temperature to 375°F (191°C) and continue smoking for an additional 30 minutes to crisp up the skin.

Step 9

Check the internal temperature of the wings; they should reach at least 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the wings from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the smoked chicken wings warm, and enjoy your flavorful, low carb meal!
