This rub I'm posting is designed to pair with the Brine for Smoked Hot Wings (http://smokinitforums.com/index.php?topic=902.msg3037#msg3037) that I posted; the flavors should be complimentary and will help promote a nice crust during a two hour smoke over apple wood. After that (weather permitting) they'll be finished on a hot grill after a toss in my Hot & Sticky Wing Sauce; if it rains, they'll take a quick trip under the broiler.
HOT WING RUB
1/2 Cup smoked paprika
1/2 Cup dark brown sugar
1/4 Cup ancho chili powder
1/4 Cup garlic powder
2 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp celery salt
2 Tsp dried mustard
2 Tsp cayenne pepper
- Apply rub of 2 parts molasses and 1 part hot sauce as a binding agent. Sprinkle wings liberally with rub.
- Smoke at 250 for two hours using 2-3 oz. of apple wood (peach or cherry may substitute).
- Finish on grill or under broiler to crisp the skin. Can be tossed in a hot wing sauce (http://smokinitforums.com/index.php?topic=904.0) before or after finishing.

this is right up my alley....
can I add a bit of cayenne as well? ;)
-
I eased up on the cayenne because of the copious amounts of hot sauce in both the brine and the finishing sauce; Crystal has a nice mellow heat so I think you could bump it up if you aren't the type to mind a case of the "meat sweats". :)
-
Crystal sauce is stg I might have to substitute as I have not seen it before....
would Franks Hot sauce or Sriracha do??
And yeah, I got a few crazy relatives that tolerate MAJOR pain...
for others I'll make a home made honey garlic sauce.....
-
I absolutely LOVE me some Sriracha ... but it's a very different flavor and texture from traditional hot sauce. If no Crystal then Frank's Red Hot or Louisiana Hot Sauce are good alternatives, but if you don't mind a bit extra cost then I'd go with Tabasco Chipotle Sauce.

Ahh! Tabasco Chipotle hot sauce. I always have that in my fridge....
sounds good, !!
I'll reserve the sriracha for a hot Asian type flavor then!
