Yield 24 wings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 cup dark chili powder
1/4 cup paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons rosemary
2 tablespoons ground sage
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon Celtic sea salt
24 jumbo chicken wings
Corn oil, for frying
Soy Ginger Sauce, recipe follows
Ranch dressing or Alabama sauce, for serving
2 cups soy sauce
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup sesame oil
3 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons ground ginger
10 cloves garlic
4 pieces fresh ginger
2 cups olive oil
5 serrano peppers, chopped

Steps:

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.
Blend soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, garlic and fresh ginger in a food processor. Continue to process, slowly adding olive oil until smooth. Add peppers last, then mix.
