- 3 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tbsp baking powder
Dry Rub
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp dried thyme
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp cumin powder
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp ground black pepper
Instructions

- While pellet grill warms up, make the dry rub. In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients. Use a fork to crush or remove any lumps that appear.
- Pat the wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Then, lightly coat with baking powder.
- Apply dry rub to each wing, covering all sides and working into any folds or crevices on the meat surface
- Once your pellet grill is at cooking temperature, arrange the wings on the grill grates. Close the lid and smoke wings to an internal temperature of 155°F (68°C), about 45 minutes.
- Increase your grill’s temperature to 450°F (230°C) and continue to cook your wings until the internal temperature reaches 165-170°F (74-76°C)
