Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 0 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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken wings, and toss them until each wing is evenly coated with the spices.

Step 6

Arrange the seasoned chicken wings on the smoker's grates in a single layer, leaving space between each wing for even cooking.

Step 7

Close the smoker lid and let the wings smoke for 60 minutes.

Step 8

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).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the wings hot as they are, or with your favorite low-calorie dipping sauce for added flavor.
