Smoked Italian BBQ Chicken Wings

BBQ sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup + vinegar

Homemade sauce can reduce sugar and additives.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point.

fresh parsley

🥗Healthier: fresh basil

💰Cheaper: dried parsley

Dried herbs are more cost-effective and have a longer shelf life.

smoked paprika

🥗Healthier: regular paprika

💰Cheaper: sweet paprika

Regular paprika can provide a similar color without the smoke flavor.

Cut off the tips of the chicken wings and discard them.

Season the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Add garlic powder to the chicken wings and mix well.

Marinate the chicken wings in Italian dressing for about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the smoker to 320°F.

Place the marinated chicken wings in the smoker and smoke for about 30 minutes.

Brush the wings with Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce and let them cook for an additional 15-20 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

Serve the wings with additional barbecue sauce if desired.
