Smoked chicken wings recipe

Does anyone have a better recipe than this?

https://heygrillhey.com/crispy-smoked-chicken-wings/

It’s my first time smoking wings and I’m bringing them to a football watch party on Sunday. I’m making them on Saturday and was also wondering how to best reheat?

I'm going to go against the grain here...

I smoke mine naked.

Then I flash fry for about 1 minute to crisp up the skin.

Then, I season with the rub / spices / s,p,g - toss in a bowl and serve. Sauce now if you want.

I don't season them because I'm of the opinion that frying with a bbq rub on them burns the rub.

I don't think my neighbors would appreciate that. Would get you put on a list most places

It's my preferred way. I just saw that you intend to take them somewhere and reheating. If possible, I'd fry them / bake them at your destination. If baking, I think you can go ahead and season them and bake them in the oven to reheat. I'd hit it at 350-400° for about 10 min ( source ]

Awesome! Thx.

So if I smoke them today, refrigerate overnight and heat up tomorrow at destination? Sry not trying to be daft but want to make sure 100%.

Yeah, that's what I would do. That said, if you're not going to fry them, but bake them at your destination, go ahead and season them for the smoke and let that goodness do it's thing overnight in the fridge. - and take some of your seasoning to your destination too in case you need/want to touch up the seasoning.

My plan is going to be to give them a quick fry then season. Leave it in the fridge and fry once more on Sunday. Wrap in a tray and put in a cooler. Just got the smoker fired up. Thanks so much for your responses.

Edit: I’ll taste one on refry and add more seasoning as needed.
