Ingredients
- 4 turkey wings (about 3 lbs total)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Pat turkey wings dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, black pepper, and salt.
- Rub olive oil all over turkey wings, then coat evenly with the spice mixture. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat smoker to 225°F (107°C) using wood chips like hickory or apple for smoke.
- Place turkey wings on smoker grates. Smoke for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.
- In a spray bottle, combine apple cider vinegar and water. Spritz wings every 45 minutes during smoking to keep moist.
- Once done, remove from smoker and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
Tips
- For extra flavor, brine the wings in a saltwater solution overnight before smoking.
- Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce or hot sauce on the side.
- Leftover smoked turkey wings can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
