Wings are fantastic on the grill, but smoking takes the taste to a whole new level. I’ve made a lot of wing recipes, but hands down, these smoked lemon pepper wings are hands down the best I’ve ever tasted.
Smoked Lemon Pepper Wings taste superior to grilled.
So…I’m definitely on a smoking kick at the moment. Once I really understood the process, I fell completely in love with it.
I’m smoking everything I can get my hands on; chicken, beef, potatoes, cheese. Pizza is coming – I cannot WAIT to do that.
I mean, seriously, I think I may have a smoking problem, like a bag of charcoal a day habit.
(Fine, I’m kidding). But I am loving my smoker, and look for any excuse to use it.
What has surprised me the most is that smoking is a lot like grilling; I always assumed it was much more tedious and difficult.
I recently bought a Char-Griller Double Play grill, which gives me both gas and charcoal barrels, and I bought the smoker box that attaches to the side.
It’s just not. I can throw my stuff on the grates just like I do with my charcoal or gas grill; the only differences are time and the beautiful smokiness that this type of cooking imparts.
AND it’s fun.
Even though it takes some patience, there’s definitely something to be said about the thrill of anticipation.
Look for a smoked beer can burger coming up in the next week or two! I have some delicious plans.

August 11, 2020 at 7:13 PMExcellent wings. Really good lemon pepper flavor. Would like them a little crispier. Maybe a few minutes at a higher temp or a couple minutes under the broiler.

January 6, 2018 at 4:03 PMThose wings look yummy! I bookmarked them for our next smoking weekend. Have you tried smoked eggs? Omg! Every time my husband fires up the smoker we add a dozen eggs for about 2.5 hours. Smoked egg salad is so good.
