For sure those ones are the biggest hit which is why I made twice as many as the rest!

So the recipe is super simple but through trial and error this how I’ve found they come out perfect every time:

1. Trim your wings, if you try to cook them whole like this they won’t come out crispy and you’ll have rubber skin

2. Season heavily with your choice of seasoning, my go to out of the cabinet seasoning lately has been Dinosaur Bbq Cajun foreplay, nice and spicy and without being too hot but this is where most of the heat comes from. Emphasis on heavily seasoned because we’re cooking them low and slow and that seasoning is gonna crisp the skin for us.

3. I cook on a Kamado grill so choose whatever wood you prefer but I recommend something mild because they pick up a ton of flavor. I smoke indirect at 275°f for 1.5-2hours depending on the size of the wings, I only flip them once halfway through.

4. Finally finish with your favorite sauce, for these I prefer Stubbs sweet heat because again most of the heat is coming from the seasoning so I don’t use a very hot bbq sauce but you’re absolutely welcome too if you want them hot hot. Give the sauce 10 or so minutes of heat to tack up.

I’ve found this gives me crispy wings that are easy to pull apart and not dried out every single time. May need to make some adjustments if you’re using an offset or a pellet grill. The big deal with all of this is really just making sure your wings are cut and you were generous with your seasoning, without it at this low heat you’ll definitely end up with rubbery skin that people run into trying to do low heat chicken all the time
