I've decided to make a variety of chicken wings for an upcoming get together. Basically, I want to cook and lightly smoke all the wings the same way and then offer different sauces for coating them in (buffalo, bbq, teryaki, etc...). However, I've seen a lot of variation in the cooking technique for wings on this site so I'm not sure what the best way to go about it.
Here's what I am thinking so far:
1) I'm starting with whole wings so I will cut the tips off and then separate the flats (wingettes) from the drumettes.
2) Rub with a nice general purpose rub (maybe Wolfe Rub Bold).
3) Fire up the WSM using the standard method, an empty water bowl and 1 or 2 small chunks of apple wood (I don't want too much smoke). Target temp will be 350.
4) Put wings on and cook them at 350 for 1 hour.
Yes? No? Is 1 hour at 350 enough to fully cook the wings? Will I get at least semi-crispy skin?
