I don't smoke wings, and I keep saying I am going to try too. Some beautiful looking hot wings on here too.
I cook mine sorta like Hooters. I dress up in skin tight satin running shorts... wait... cooking wings. I fry them first Then I toss them in a concoction I make with various heats, and tempered with a bit of honey. Its so hot as to remove the skin from your tongue, then that honey not only helps it stick good to the chicken, but adds a slight sweetness. AND sugar, especially honey cranks down that heat just a little bit.
I keep saying I will try other ways, especially a lady friend's, who now frys (like me) then smokes before she adds that sauce.
Yo, it's just a no brainer when you fry then toss, let dry, toss, let dry and grab some ranch dressing with celery and carrots. My secret, I am not paying 2.00+ a lb. for what we used to be crab bait, I wait for .39 cent hind quarters and use the drum sticks. Big meat, big flavor, and moist and juicy!
