Pat wings dry.
Combine spices to form the rub.
Place wings in a container, add and mix rub and olive oil over chicken.
Let wings rest for at least an hour or longer (overnight works)
Heat the smoker or grill to a temperature between 225-250 F.
Place wings over indirect heat.
If using a grill, add wood for the smoke to coals.
Smoke for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, maintaining a constant smoke for at least 1 1/2 hours, the chicken should have an internal temperature of 160.
Place directly over coals/hot grill to crisp, approximately 5 minutes each side (this is to crisp the skin)
