Smoked Chicken Wings - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    16 chicken wings, tips discarded
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1/4 cup dry rub for chicken (such as McCormick(R) Grill Mates(R))
    1 pound mesquite wood chips, soaked in water
    1 (8 ounce) bottle blue cheese salad dressing
Preparation
    Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil; toss with hands until coated. Coat wings evenly with dry rub.
    Light charcoal and heat smoker to 170 to 200 degrees F (77 to 93 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
    Drain wood chips and place half of them directly on the charcoal. Spread wings evenly on the cooking grate skin-side down.
    Smoke wings until fragrant, about 1 hour.
    Flip wings. Add remaining wood chips to the charcoal. Continue smoking until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 1 hour more.
    Serve chicken wings with blue cheese dressing.
