Ingredients:
- Chicken Wings
- Dak’s Red Seasoning or
- Daks Blackened seasoning.
- Olive oil (bottle & spray
Tools Needed:
- Napoleon 6400 Rotisserie basket.
- JoeTisserie Rotisserie insert.
- Green Egg or similar smoker
Preparation Steps:
- Lightly coat the chicken wings with olive oil to ensure the seasoning sticks well and to help them achieve a golden crispness.
- Generously season the wings with your chosen Dak’s Seasoning. Opting for a sodium-free option makes this dish a healthier choice without compromising on flavor.
- Prepare your smoker by setting up the JoeTisserie on the Green Egg. This setup is crucial for ensuring your wings cook evenly and get that perfect rotation.
- Preheat your smoker to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
*A unique tip is to create a canyon in the middle of the coals, placed at the sides of the smoker, to allow for an even cooking environment. Adding soaked wood chips to the coals introduces that unmistakable smoky flavor—just ensure the chips aren’t too wet, as this can extinguish the coals.
- Before adding the wings, spray the basket with olive oil. This simple yet effective step aids in cleanup and prevents the wings from sticking.
- Place the wings in the basket, ensuring they are spread out evenly for consistent cooking.
- Insert the basket into the rotisserie slot and turn on the rotisserie. This cooking method allows for the wings to be cooked evenly on all sides, resulting in a perfectly crispy exterior.
- Roast the wings for approximately 40 minutes or until they achieve a golden-brown color. This indicates that the wings are crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside.
