I stumbled upon this recipe and thought it was interesting. They say bake your wings at 400Β° for about 45 minutes and then coat them with a ginger soy glaze and put them back on.

Your assumption is correct. It's much easier to maintain a perfect 400Β° On the BGE than on the Weber kettle. I'll use my DigiQ Dx2 and set it for 400Β°. Easy peasy.π
I do wings like this often with cherry wood on the kettle and I can confirm that this is a great method. I find, however, that it takes more like 60 - 75 minutes to properly render the fat and get the right crispiness, even when cooking at 400+.
I have been adding the following rub before smoking (MMD also works):
2 tblsp chili powder
2 tspn brown sugar
1 tspn white sugar
1 tspn powdered ginger
1/2 tspn nutmeg
1 tspn black pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
pinch cayenne to taste
I agree with their finishing method for sauce. My finishing sauces of late have been either a 40/20/40 blend of Franks/Sriracha/Melted Butter or a 45/45/10 blend of Sriracha/Honey/Vinegar.
