Really I just used the same mixture for both. Turned out sooo good!

Smoked Chicken Wings

Quick post to document how I typically smoke chicken wings…
Toss wings in a ziplock back, add EVOO, and the rub you would like to use. Rub the wings in the bag to coat them with the EVOO & rub.
Smoker should be at 250-275 (I use 250, but if going for crisper go higher).
Smoke for about 1.5 hours or until the meat reaches 165-170 degrees.
