I was a little hesitant to try this since I heard the skin gets leathery, so I approached it a little differently than a usual smoke. I smoked them at 200 degrees for an hour, and then blasted them on a 400-500 degree grill for 15 minutes with plenty of flips.
Prior to the grill I tossed them in sauce so they had some moisture on them to withstand the high heat longer and achieve a (hopefully) more thorough cook.
Once they were mostly done and crispy I dunked them in sauce one final time and put them on the top rack to heat through fully. The cook ended up being pretty spot on, juicy and not leathery.
I’m usually my own worst critic but I gotta say, these were bangin. 8/10, a little too salty.

For what it’s worth, pictures are in chronological order. Smoke —> toss 1 —> grill —> flip — toss 2 and finish —> final product.
Ugly

Yoo!
They look amazing!!!
Related to wings but unrelated to this particular post. Curiosity got the best of me today. I decided to toss some bone in wings with olive oil/favorite spice then send them to the air fryer on 400 for about 20 minutes. For the record, I use my Traeger for wings 100% of the time. My air fryer ended up making the best wings I’ve ever made at home. They were unreal. Crispy and perfectly cooked meat.
Your wings look good. Keep it up bud!
Please deep fry your wings next time
