Smoked Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs chicken wings
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 cup hot sauce
Directions:
1. Preheat your smoker to 250°F (120°C).

3. Toss the wings in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
4. Arrange the wings on the smoker racks, leaving some space between each wing for the smoke to circulate.
5. Smoke the wings for 2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. While the wings are smoking, mix together the melted butter and hot sauce in a bowl.
7. Once the wings are done, toss them in the hot sauce mixture to coat.
8. Serve immediately.
