Ingredients

3 lbs chicken wings party style
3 tablespoons homemade BBQ spice rub or your favorite store bought rub
1 cup homemade BBQ sauce or your favorite store bought BBQ sauce

Instructions

Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees F. Load the smoker with apple wood, cherry wood or hickory chips.
Coat the chicken wings with the spice rub and place in the smoker.
Cook for 2 hours, refilling wood as needed, or until the internal temperature of the chicken wings registers 165 degrees F with a thermometer.
Transfer the chicken wings to a sheet pan.
Optional: Preheat the broiler. Place the sheet pan of wings under the broiler and cook for 3-4 minutes or until skin is crispy.
Brush the wings with the BBQ sauce and serve.

Notes

Be sure to buy the party style chicken wings, which are already cut into segments. If you can't find party wings, you can buy full sized wings and cut them into pieces yourself.
I think these smoked chicken wings are fabulous as-is, but if you want to serve them with a dip, free free! Ranch would be a great choice.
