Servings :8
Ingredients
- 2 doz Chicken Wings
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Your Favorite Wing Rub
Garlic Dry Rub
- 1 Tbsp Kosher Salt
- 1 Tbsp Coarse Ground Pepper
- ½ Tbsp Garlic Powder
Spicy Dry Rub
- 1 Tbsp Chili Powder
- 1 Tbsp Sweet Smoked Paprika
- 2 tsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Cayenne
- 1½ tsp Salt
- 1½ tsp Pepper
Lemon Pepper
- 1½ Tbsp Lemon Pepper (no salt or additional seasoning added)
- ½ Tbsp Kosher Salt
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
Instructions
- Clean and divide wings if necessary (we usually buy party wings which are already split and tips removed)
- Place wings in a ziploc bag, you may need more than one depending on the size of the wings and bag
- Add olive oil to each bag and squish around to evenly distribute over wings
- Sprinkle wings with your favorite rub, we like to go lighter on the seasoning, but coat as you see fit!
- Heat your smoker to 225° - 250°F and cook the wings over indirect heat for 2 hours or until the internal temperature is 165°
Notes
You can use any rub you like here. We have made our own or used store bought. In the recipe we give three great options, but tweak them to your liking. Our favorite is just the salt, pepper and garlic version. We often use Penzeys Roasted Garlic for these.
The wings can be made up to a day in advance and stored in foil. When you are ready to serve them, turn on the oven to 250F to warm them up. It should take about 15 minutes. If you want to crisp up the skin place them under the broiler for 5 minutes.
