Last night I threw some chicken wings on my camp chef. Before the cook throughout the day I had been trying to come up with a new chicken wing rub. I then thought about Huskees rib rub. Except I left out the brown sugar and added the cayenne. All in all, the rub turned out great. Smoked the wings at 225ish for 15 minutes then cranked it up to 325 for another 15 minutes and came out perfect with great color. Used a good amount of hickory chunks to really get that smoke flavor.
Skin turned out great. May not show it too well with the pic but skin got crisp. Maybe could have popped them under the broiler for a couple minutes but we were too hungry to wait for that.

Well the wings I used were from costco that came in that pack of 6 called "party wings". So they are on the smaller side. Can get overcooked. And i started at 225 to let them get a lot of smoke then cranked it up to get crisp skin. If i would have just started at 325 then they would have only cooked for 25-30 min and they wouldnt have gotten enough time with smoke.
I agree with Huskee, this is the way I typically do chicken as well. Having said that, I think your approach was well thought out and maybe I'll just have to try that on some of the smaller chicken wings I have in the freezer. Thanks for the tip cwain8845

That’s how I like to do wings too. Smoke them for 30 mins then I’ll either deep fry or grill to finish. I think cooking them low and slow at first renders a lot of the fat out and helps the skin crisp better?
