Ingredients (serves 4):

- 2 lbs chicken winglets
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Cooking Tips:

- For best results, marinate the chicken winglets in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- To get that perfect smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill or smoker if possible. If you don't have access to one, you can still achieve a similar flavor by using a gas grill or oven with a smoking box or wood chips.

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken winglets with the spice mixture and olive oil until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your grill or smoker to medium-high heat. If using an oven, preheat to 400°F.
4. Place the chicken winglets on the grill or smoker and cook for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through and crispy. If using an oven, place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and apple cider vinegar.
6. Brush the honey mixture over the chicken winglets and serve immediately.
