Okay, let's get the big problem with smoking turkey wings out of the way: toughness. Turkey wings are tough. Very tough. However, I was able to smoke this 10 pound batch of turkey wings in a way that eliminated that toughness. One key thing to do is to marinate them for at least 24 hours in mojo marinade. Then take them out of the refrigerator a few hours before smoking to allow them to reach near room temperature.
The key ingredient in my rub is the cayenne pepper which gives it that special spicy kick so you can feel your ears and chest go warm when eating the turkey wings. My rub recipe is below.
Finally sloooooow smoke the turkey wings in the kettle grille at a temperature of between 250 to 300 degrees for four hours. The internal temperature of the turkey should be 165 degrees (despite what I said in the video that it should be 170 degrees). Add charcoal if needed. Turn the wings every hour. Charcoal on the half of the grate opposite the turkey wings so the wings get only indirect heat while smoking.
Rub recipe for smoking 10 pounds turkey wings:
6 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons onion pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
4 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Mix the spices together and then combine with the olive oil.
Note: If you don't like it very spicy then only use 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper.
I had naan bread in a restaurant on International Drive in the tourist area of Orlando. Loved it and have bought yogurt a couple of time to make it but never made it. One of these days.
I watched youtube vids of people making it and noticed a lot of them use one hand the whole time. Never touch the food with their left hand. yuk
Yea on small pieces guess work is the same for me too.
