Spent corn cobs produce a subtle, sweet-flavoured smoke that’s ideal for barbecuing just about any meat, and without the need for any special equipment or even wood chips. Chicken wings are a great starting point for hot smoking, because they cook quickly and have a lot of surface area to take on that smoky flavour. You’ll need a barbecue with a lid and a bag of lumpwood charcoal.
