Instructions
Set grill to a temperature of 250°, using indirect heat.
If the wings are not already separated, cut them into the wings and drumettes.
Pat the wings dry and place them in a large Ziploc bag. Spray a bit of olive oil in the bag and work them around to ensure an even (light) coat.
Sprinkle the dry rub in the bag and work it around to get an even coverage.
Add the wings to the smoker for about 90 minutes. They should be 165°.
Brush on BBQ sauce of your choice (optional) and close the lid. Let them smoke for another 5-10 minutes.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
Notes
How Long to Cook: At 250°, smoke them for about 90 minutes. You want the final temperature to reach 165° though. It is better to shoot for temperature than it is to shoot for time.No Flipping Needed: You do not need to turn the wings over. This is a low-and-slow recipe with indirect heating. The smoke will work all around the wings and you don't need to turn them over.Crispier Wings: If you want these wings crispy, there are two techniques you can use. First, you can move the wings to direct heat for the last few minutes. This will crisp up the skin nicely. Alternatively, you can put the wings on a sheet pan and broil them for a minute or two. Either way works wonders!Additions and Substitutions:Rubs | This is the time when it can be so much fun to mix the flavors up by making your own rub like we did for the Beer Can Chicken, buy a new sampler pack or stick to your tried and true favorite.Sauces | This really changes the taste of the wings depending on what sauce you choose to use. When you're feeling frisky, make your own. We love a good Dr Pepper BBQ Sauce, Beer BBQ Sauce or Smoked Pumpkin Bourbon Sauce.Dipping Sauces | Change the bottled dipping sauces to making your own Chipotle Mayo, Buffalo or Homemade Ranch.Storage: If you have leftovers (and from personal experience, I can tell you that seldom happens!) then store them in a covered Tupperware container in the refrigerator for up to three days.Reheating: Place them on a plate and microwave for one to two minutes. I recommend covering these, as the sauce has a tendency to splatter and make a mess.
