Brined Hot Wings

5 pounds wings, cut into pieces
1/3 cup kosher salt
1/3 cup brown sugar
7 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/2 finely minced onion
2 teaspoons ancho or guajullo pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne 
3 ounces of Louisiana style hot sauce
2 ounces soy sauce
3 ounces oil
3 tablespoons finely minced fresh herbs (whatever is available in your garden at the moment is fine)

Smoke until the juices run clear. 

My brines are typically a variation of the O'Reilly's brine found in the FAQ. All ingredient measurements are based on one (1) Gallon of water.  I have also brined chicken using buttermilk instead of water and it turns out quite tasty. 
 
My wife makes a killer teriyaki wing, she makes it in the broiler or I grill them on the charcoal Weber, though I imagine they would be excellent smoked. I don't have exact measurements at the moment, but it is basically brown sugar, soy, garlic, Asian style sesame oil (a little sesame oil goes a long way) and green onions. Just before grilling or smoking generously sprinkle sesame seeds on the wings.
