Dry the wings well with a paper towel and set on a wire rack.
In a paper sack add the Rib Rub, garlic powder and mustard. Shake well.
In a medium bowl, combine the hot sauce, Worcestershire and liquid smoke.
Dip the chicken wings in the wet mixture and let them soak for at least 10 minutes, shaking off any excess.
Note: for a less spicy version, omit this step and add the wings directly into the dry seasoning.
Add the wings, one at a time, to the sack and shake well to generously coat. Remove the wings and place on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes to dry.
Place the rack on a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
