Directions

Special equipment:

a smoker; a deep-fryer

Preheat a smoker to 310 degrees F.
Stir together the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, pepper, rosemary, sage, onion powder and salt in a bowl.
Coat the wings in the rub (save the remainder for another use). Place in the smoker until wings reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
Deep-fry wings for 2 to 3 minutes. This makes them crispy on the outside and juicy inside.
Generously toss wings in Soy Ginger Sauce. Serve Ranch dressing or Alabama sauce on the side to cool the heat from the chiles.
