    After you season them, sprinkle some corn starch on them and they basically “grill fry”. I like raised direct if you have the means to do so. If not do them indirect 350-400.

    Search function here is your friend.  About as many ways to cook wings as forum participants.  Pick one and go then change up one variable the next time til you  land where you want.  FWIW-

    I do mine raised indirect at about 400.  I never use corn starch since I don't care for how the wings taste with it on them.  Wings are always crispy.

    That works. You must have had some special flavored corn starch. 😜

    If you can leave the wings in the fridge for 24hrs before cooking that's helped me.  I do raised indirect at 350-400 for 20min, then flip and cook for another 20min.  That's been working well for our household as of late.

    Well shoot I didn’t get around to cooking my wings tonight. I applied the rub to em, threw some Saran Wrap on and put back in the fridge tuesday night, will they still be safe tomorrow night (Friday) to cook?

    Cook ‘em if they  pass the whiff test. 

    Wings are fine hanging around in marinade for 2-3 days, so I imagine dry rubbed wings should be fine.
