Dry rub Hot Wings. Gooood!!

[leech~~]

1st run on new smoker.

Apple smoked dry rub Hot wings.  Turned out way better than I thought they would. No need for wet wing sauce at all!

Nice work, any tips on  temp and time?  They look great...

thats exactly how I do my wings.  thaw, then they go in a steam pot for about 15mins and then let cool and dry. Then apply rub, let sit in fridge over night and then smoke the next day. 

 

I prefer to have a little crisp to them also and not use any sauce.

Those look great...

Gotta get me a real smoker one of these days.

The cheap Master Chief doesn't cut it for this type of stuff.

 

I already steam my wings, this would be a nice way to finish them off.

Was a bit rushed for time this morning so I set her up to 240F for about 2hrs and rotated racks half way, which would have cooled it a bit then. I do like my bird a little bit on the crispy and dryer side. These were fresh unfrozen wings.

SO......whats in the rub?

 

The rub was a lot of dash of this and that as I was going through the spice racks. It's kind of fun to do that sometimes but when you come up with a good taste it's hard to remember what the heck you did? 

 

Here's what I remember in dash increments!  Dash=2-3 TBS.

1-Chili powder

1-Onion powder

1-Cumin powder

1-Cayenne pepper

1-Garlic salt

1-Blackening powder-brand?

and 2 other off brand low salt jars of stuff we picked up somewhere up north and I didn't have the names of them right now?

Or they could be the secret Ingredients!

Got two chickens in the freezer now and was thinking of the spatchcock idea to get the smoke in the meat better and not cook so long. Great minds think alike!  

 

Get your shield up, you know what happens if you agree or give someone a complement around here!

Watab is pretty much a winter destination but if you're heading up by Brainerd.

No we have a seasonal camper at WildWoods at the other end of the lake. But, I'm pretty sure those wings an't going to be around to long!  LoL.
