Dry rub wings success!

[Teal101]

So thanks to many members here I did a successful first smoke of wings. I prepper them at 10am but dring them, applying a light coat of baking powder and then seasoning. One set of wings got Yardbird and the other got Traegers Saskatchewan seasoning. They rested in the fridge uncovered until 5 when I put them on. I ran them at 275 on my Traeger Pro 22 and decided to try out my new inkbird on this cook. I ran two probes for internal smoker temp and to look for hot spots, the other two in wings just for giggles. I did find my PID is wildly inaccurate on internal temp and ended up cooking yhe wings faster than I wanted. Set at 275 I was seeing temps to 300 so I dropped it down to 250 after around 20 minutes in and still saw temps to 286, but thats closer to the 275 I wanted. At 30 minutes I flipped them. At 1hr I bumped it to 375 and flipped then back over. I checked every 3 minutes for crispness. At 9 minutes I flipped again and pulled after 3 more minutes. Skin was crispy and wings were juicy! My girlfriend isnt a fan of wings usually, mostly due to the buffalo sauce, and she loved these. I have some full wings I will be doing the same to soon. We paired them with fries pickles and chili cheese tots. Thanks again for all the info!

Thank you. Like I said in the other thread, a lot of the info came from posts you made!

I have always been a sauced guy, but I had some amazing dry rub wings in Louisville last winter snd have been craving them since.

Ahhhh PBR the best of the micro brews. If your girlfriend isn't fond of hot sauce. Then give Teriyaki a whirl. We like to switch up between Teriyaki and hot sauce. BTW your wings look fantastic.

Point for sure

Theres something about the tang in a can of Pabst that really hits the spot sometimes. Good stuff.

Shes not a fan of hot sauce nor is she a fan of sauced wings in general I've come to find out. She really really liked the dry rubs so we will be doing more of these in the future. I will have to sauce a few for myself eventually though! Thanks!

Sometimes there's just nothing that hits the spot better than an ice cold PBR tall boy!

Exactly. It's not an every day beer for me, but sometimes its what the doctor ordered. Especially in the summer, a tall boy in the back yard after work is a thing of beauty!
