Applewood Smoked Wings

[BKING!]

Smoked up some applewood smoked wings on the kamado joe.

Grate temp:375 deg
Rub: American royal twisted q chicken
Wood: 4 oz of applewood
Other: served up with a little tobasco sauce on top

1: The skin was ultra crispy and was almost what you would expect from fried wings.
2:The rub was kind of disappointing. I plan on trying jeff’s Rub for the first time tomorrow.
3: The tobasco sauce was good on it! On the other hand I put that sh** on everything so I am biased.
4: Smoke flavor was ok. It was blue smoke but the last couple smokes I’ve done on my new stickburner has me spoiled now. I may just use my kamado as a grill/griddle/oven now instead of smoker since it will always be 2nd best.

Never heard of American Royal before. Didn’t like it huh Bking? I’ve been using Dirty Bird lately. It’s good.
But my go to rub for wings is ( lordie I hate admitting this) McCormick Rotisserie Chicken. Please don’t tell anyone on the forum. They might laugh at me. B

I mean it was ok... There was cinnamon in it though that was a bit too strong.

Well my wife just came home and began raving about the wings lol. She loved the cinnamon in the rub.

I’ve come across weirder ingredients. Like ginger and rosemary in a pretty well known bbq rub. Even weirder is that the rub was actually good. Look up meathead’s Memphis dust if you haven’t already.

Baaahaaaa Baaaahaaaa, BaaaaaHaaaaa, BaaaaHaaaaa(in my best Arnold voice from happy days).

Wings look really good Bking. Crispy skin and moist are the best. We do them allot of times naked w/o any seasoning. Just a little Franks and butter post cook.

B I've used that numerous times also or something very similar.

Points for sure.

how long did you cook the wings for at that temp?

I can’t remember exactly. It seemed like the cook was super quick though and they were done before I knew it! Maybe 30 minutes max. I take wings, thighs, and legs to 185 deg internal. The skin does better for me and the meat stays moist from the dark meat.
