Prep time does not include brining. I love the flats, but feel free to use the entire chicken wing, or better yet, save the drumette portion for your next chicken gumbo. Rather than the gas grill, feel free to use a regular smoker if you have one. I urge you to try my Cajun seasoning blend recipe but feel free to use any commercial product. You should have more glaze that you will use; be sure to save it for you next wing ding, or to brush on grilled pork chops or ribs. I like combining this with brown rice as an entrée, but the wings can be served family-style or as a party pass-around.
