INSTRUCTIONS

1 Mix brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and crushed red pepper in small bowl until well blended. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mixture for tossing wings; set aside.
2 Place chicken wings in large bowl. Add remaining seasoning mixture, tossing to coat evenly. Arrange chicken wings in single layer on large sheet pan. Refrigerate, uncovered, while smoker heats.
3 Heat smoker to 250 to 275°F according to manufacturer’s instructions, using your favorite hardwood or pellets. Place wings on smoker grate. Smoke 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches about 175°F, turning halfway through cooking.
4 Remove wings from smoker and place in large bowl. Sprinkle with reserved 2 tablespoons seasoning mixture, tossing to coat. Serve immediately.

Test Kitchen Tips:
• For crispier wings, transfer wings to the sear side of your smoker, or grill over direct heat, for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally. You can also arrange wings on a large sheet pan and place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes before tossing with reserved seasoning.
• Skip the spice rub and try with Grill Mates® Max’s All-Purpose Seasoning. Sprinkle wings with 4 1/2 teaspoons Max’s Base Seasoning. Smoke as directed. Enjoy as-is, or layer on the flavor with your favorite sauce, such as Stubb’s Bar-B-Q or Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wings Sauce.
