Rinse chicken wings with cold water and dry thoroughly. If flats and drumettes are still one piece, cut with kitchen shears at the joints and discard the tip.
Salt and pepper both sides of wings and pre-heat smoker to 200°F. Once pre-heated, place chicken directly on smoker rack and smoke for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove chicken from smoker and place on tray while increasing the smoker temperature to 425°F. Once heated, place chicken back on smoker and cook until an IT of 170-180°F.
If applying wing sauce, brush sauce on the chicken 5 minutes after putting them back on the smoker. Then continue to cook until reaching an IT of 170-180°F.
Remove and allow to cool. Serve with ranch dressing and celery sticks.

Buying chicken wings in one piece instead of already separated into drumettes and flats will be cheaper
