SMOKED WINGS I am not wanting to make them hot. I am after a good commericial rub or a Brother's homemade. Wanting to give them a peppery flavor without over doing it. I want to be able to serve them dry with a variety of dipping sauces,sugestions on sauces for the dipping is also welcome.
As always thany you for any and all help.

For what you are describing you want on wings, I really like Jim Goode's Beef rub. There are two kinds of pepper and also savory which is peppery. It is low salt and the sugar will give a little carmelization effect. The other spices are good on chicken. It has been posted on the internet for years and it is one of my "house rubs". I still make it exactly as-is with no personal tweaks. Of course I like it with beef, but generally mixed into ground beef for meatloaf or on burgers. My steak and brisket seasonings are quite simple like we discussed in those other recent threads. I also like it on lamb. I use the overnight dwell time after seasoning as suggested. Being low on salt it doesn't do any curing of the meat like a high salt rub could if left on that long.
Here it is:
Jim Goode's BBQ Beef Rub
"This beef rub is great for beef, pork and lamb. Once you mix the spices they'll keep about 4 months in an airtight jar. When ready to use, just rub into the meat, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate the night before grilling."
Jim Goode
