OK. I was instructed to make wings. It was -15 C outside, I was tired and I was not in the mood for anything fancy. None of these mean you can’t have tasty wings!

I used my Mexican Seasonings mix in this recipe.

  • 20 ml (4 tsp) paprika
  • 10 ml (2 tsp) dried parsley
  • 8 ml (1 1/2 tsp) oregano
  • 8 ml (1 1/2 tsp) Kosher salt
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) onion powder
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) garlic powder
  • 8 ml (1 1/2 tsp) cumin
  • 3 ml (1/2 tsp) ground coriander
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) black pepper
  • 4 ml (3/4 tsp) chili powder
  • 4 ml (3/4 tsp) crushed dried chilies

I took 15 wing segments and tossed them with 25 ml (2 tablespoons) of Mexican Seasonings.

I preheated my smoker to 230 F and put the wings on for 1 hour. I turned the wings and cooked for another hour. I made sure the internal temperature in the wings was over 170 F.



I took the wings out and served them hot.

The Verdict

These had a nice texture on the skin and a great spicy taste. I’d done what I was told, was lazy and still had great wings. Mission accomplished!

Love it Disco! Well done, well done indeed!
I mixed up some Homemade Taco seasoning the other day.
It smells wonderful! And I think tastes like it should.
Then was informed that She doesn't like taco seasoning.
So I guess I'll just enjoy it myself... :emoji_wink:

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them think. :emoji_thinking:
 
thanks for "how to"...looks delicious...will try it on weekend...

It is incredibly easy! I hope you like it.

You made a tactical error. Don't tell them you are making a seasoning. Just add it and see if they like it. It's not even lying!
 
Those look mighty Tasty from the Den!!
Nice Job, Disco!
Like.

Looks great Disco

I've been wanting to try smoking up some Mexican style wings.

Will have to give that Mexican rub a try too.
 
Looks top notch Disco. Going to have to try your recipe, looks to be one that we would really like. Thanks for sharing!
 
Looks good, was the skin rubbery after 2 hours or could you bite through it easily?
Thanks!
 
Dang those look Good we love em

Wait...You lit your smoker for 15 wings??
I do this regularly and I don't see the issue. I'll actually be lighting one of my cookers up tonight to cook four chicken thighs. I would rather have the food and the experience of making the food instead of the charcoal sitting in the bag.
 
I love it!, I will give it a try, next time I do drumstick night. I find drumsticks for 1/3 the price of wings. why not it is just a meater limb.
 
D, I'm glad this popped back up as I had missed your post, great looking wings and recipe !

Absolutely. There is just myself and She Who Must Be Obeyed.
