Instructions
- Crack eggs into a small bowl.
- Whisk eggs until they are well combined.
- Add eggs and the rest of ingredients to a bowl big enough to accommodate the wings too.
- Whisk the ingredients together well.
- Add the chicken wings to the marinade. Refrigerate overnight.
- When you are ready to smoke, remove the wings from the marinade. Pat dry lightly with paper towels.
- Allow the wings to air dry on a rack for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Preheat your smoker and add wood chips or wood pellets and fill the water tray.
- Place the wings directly on the smoker rack.
- Baste the wings with the leftover marinade a couple times during the smoking process.
- Smoke for about 2 hours at 250°F until internal temperature reads 160°F on an instant read thermometer in the thickest part of the fattest drumette.
- Crank up the heat of the smoker to 450°F to crisp them, until internal temperature is 170°F and skin is your desired crispness. You can also crisp them under the broiler, or on a very hot grill.

Notes
- What wood to use
- You can use a charcoal grill / smoker, an electric smoker a gas smoker or a pellet smoker.
- We like to use apple wood, cherry wood or pecan wood for poultry. We find that hickory, mesquite and oak tend to overpower the flavor of the chicken.
- How to serve wings
- Serve wings with ranch or blue cheese dip, celery sticks, carrot sticks and the like for an appetizer course. You can even serve with your favorite barbecue sauce or Buffalo sauce, but try them first because they are so good without it.
- For a dinner course, serve with baked beans and a delicious potato salad.
- What if I don't have a smoker?
- If you don’t own a smoker, you can still enjoy smoked meats. You can use your grill to smoke. Set up your grill so that the fire is only on one side. You will place the meat on the side of the grill that does not have the direct flame (indirect heat), directly on the grill grates. This is called indirect cooking.
- Add soaked wood to a metal tray (we use a disposable foil pie plate or bread pan). Add another metal tray with water. Remember to fill the water if it runs out.
- You can also create a similar setup for your oven in a pinch or in the winter.
- I don't have poultry seasoning
- Make your own.
- 4 teaspoons sage
- 3 teaspoons thyme
- 1 teaspoons marjoram
- 2 teaspoons ground rosemary (or use mortar and pestle or spice mill to grind it.)
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
