These smoked turkey wings are tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor, perfect for a soul food feast or any barbecue gathering.

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

1. Pat turkey wings dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, black pepper, and salt.
2. Rub olive oil all over turkey wings, then coat evenly with the spice mixture. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat smoker to 225°F (107°C) using wood chips like hickory or apple for smoke.
4. 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.
5. In a spray bottle, combine apple cider vinegar and water. Spritz wings every 45 minutes during smoking to keep moist.
6. 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.
