I haven't found a rub that beats a heavy dose of fresh ground pepper and sea salt. Personal preference but I'd rather cook at 400 until initial temp of around 180 (8-10 minutes per side) as opposed to smoking. The skin crisps up better at higher temps. Especially if you leave uncovered on a wire rack in the fridge overnight to let the skin dry out. If all goes wrong, you can always toss in a mixture of butter and Frank's hot wing sauce at the end and cover up any shortcomings in the cook.

Then add a little baking powder before applying rub. Skin will crisp up fine enough even in a smoker with that method. But obviously not as well as higher temp and definitely nothing compared to fried in fat.

If smoking I’ll do a salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder rub. I don’t toss them smoked.

In the oven it’s salt and pepper at 425 until done then tossed. Usually in either Tiger Sauce or Crystal wing sauce.
