Alright girls... I have never shared this recipe with anyone:
Wings coming off the smoker
Wings tossed in Smokin Gator's Hot Wing Rub
Process:
Marinade full wings in Italian Dressing for 3-4 hours (I used Kraft Zesty Italian).
Smoke wings at 225 for 2 1/2 hours using your choice of flavoring wood (I use apple or pecan).
Run temp up to 350 and cook for an additional 1/2 hour.
Take off cooker - if you have a deep fat fryer and want the bomb have it ready and put the wings in for 1-2 minutes.
Toss in Smokin Gator's Hot Wing Rub
Smokin Gator's Hot Wing Rub:
¾ cup paprika
½ cup dark brown sugar – dried
3 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes (Yes tablespoons)
1 tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon seasoned salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
¼ tablespoon cayenne pepper
To dry the dark brown sugar spread it on a cookie sheet and heat it in the oven at 250 for about 10 minutes. Let it cool them crush any chunks with a mortar and pestil.
